Hi @vu.pham, I just had a pleasant discussion with @therese related to this product idea.  
Since it’s hard to find the correct sub equipment, one possible solution is adding more filter criteria in the “Add sub equipment” panel.

Also, **Therese has a very insightful example** of how Redkon finds and links containers with shackles. I think you’re the best person to tell this example correctly, so could you please share the details here, @therese? ❤

**I myself have an additional question regarding this topic:**  
After recent releases, Onix Inspect users can link main and sub equipment from this mobile application.

Here’s how it works:

- The inspector working on the field can hold the phone in his/her hand, open Onix Inspect and select the main equipment (for example, the container).
- Then he/she start linking, and scan the tags on many sub equipment one by one (the shackles, the slings, other loose gears).
- See the details here: [How to manage main/sub equipment in Onix Work and mobile apps](https://community.onix.com/t/how-to-manage-main-sub-equipment-in-onix-work-and-mobile-apps/971#h-32-in-onix-worker-and-onix-inspect-and-other-mobile-apps-9)

Will this functionality (link equipment from Onix Inspect mobile app) help with your case @therese @redkon?
