Locations: Tool Module

The Locations page lists the tool rooms in which the tool is stored and available. For each tool room, both the quantity available and quantity issued (in use) are listed.

ClosedField Descriptions

The following fields are displayed in the Locations List:

  • Tool Room: Tool room as defined in the Tool Room module.

    • The On Hand designation should correspond to the quantity stored in the tool room.
