Equipment automatically inactive

Q&A Is there any chance equipment with due date passed can go to inactive automatically?

Hi @Erik_Naavik_Reinan, that is not possible with today’s functionalities. Is there a specific reason why equipment’s status should be “inactive” automatically?

Understanding your use case will help us check for any workarounds or turn your question into a product idea. Hope to hear from you soon.

With 2000+ equipment’s in the TRC category, it should not be possible to use an equipment that has passed due date. There is a lot of manual work deactivating (We have the due date on the last day of the month), and we was not aware that our main user was doing this manually, we thought it was done automatically. Therefore we have a lot of equipment that is shown as active even if the due date is passed, since he has been away from work for a longer period of time.

Got it :+1:
Since this is not yet possible, please let me move this topic to Product ideas so the Product team can consider it and discuss further with you.

Perfect, thanks for your quick response

Hi Erik,

Thank you for the product idea. I’ve got a few questions to better understand your use of the system:

  1. Do you intend to inspect the equipment that is overdue?
  2. What do you do before you use the equipment? Do you check that it’s active? Do you check that the inspection due date is good? Do you check that there isn’t any open issues?

I’m not sure if you’ve been introduced to our Tool Store solution. This solution helps you keep track of all the equipment at a location, and gives you the possibility to check out and check in the equipment to keep track of what is in use, who is using it and when it will return. This will also block users from checking out equipment that has an active issue or is overdue on inspection.

@nabil.omar, is it possible to set up a Teams-meeting? Easier to explain/show what we use Onix for :slight_smile:
