10x faster and smarter Equipment module with a clean and easy-to-use user interface. We call it the Modern Equipment module. Why not?

WHY DO WE NEED THE MODERN EQUIPMENT MODULE?

THE OLD EQUIPMENT MODULE

  • The current equipment module is too slow and it takes a few decades to load the equipment
  • The multi-selection function is totally a nightmare, you must click the items one by one to do the multi-selection
  • Current grouping is not so smart and you cannot take advantage of it
  • Cannot personalize your search function

AND IT COMES THE MODERN EQUIPMENT MODULE

  • 10x faster and smarter Equipment module
  • Clean and easy-to-use user interface
  • Introducing ID: the preferred ID (sometimes Owner’s ID, Serial No., or Batch no.)
  • Enhanced Table layout and Split layout
  • Views: define columns & filters to streamline the data access for you and your colleagues
  • Get everyone in your company on the same page with shared views
  • Select your own display fields in views
  • Advanced filters: data fields & equipment properties filters, helps in focusing on necessary data
  • Multi-selection becomes super fast with hotkeys
  • Easily switch between the old Equipment module and the Modern Equipment module
  • MORE IS COMING IN THE FUTURE

ID

  • ID is the preferred ID (sometimes Owner’s ID, or Serial No., or Batch no.)
    • This is a data combination, you don’t have to waste many columns for other identifiers such as Serial no., Batch no., Product no., etc…
    • Help you to easily search your equipment
    • More focus, less risk
  • ID is the must-have display field for both Table and Split layout
    • ID a field that equals to your Owner ID
    • If your equipment does not have the Owner ID: the ID will be its Serial no.
    • If your equipment does not have the Owner ID and no Serial no.: the ID will be its Batch no.
  • If your equipment does not have the Owner ID, no Serial no., and no Batch no.: the ID will be its Product no.

LAYOUT

  • You can display your equipment list in 2 different layouts
    • Table layout: an Excel-like table with rows and columns. You can do a lot of things to it, friendly and more convenient.
    • Split layout: your screen will be divided into 2 areas: 1 area to show the equipment list, 1 area to show the equipment detail

DISPLAY FIELDS

  • DISPLAY FIELDS are the data fields that you want to show in the equipment list. We also have some default Display fields for you when you create a new view
    • Table layout: Display fields will be shown as columns
      • In the Table layout: you can add up to 30 display fields (including ID)
    • Split layout: Display fields will be shown as rows in your equipment tile
      • In the Split layout: you can add up to 6 display fields (including ID)

FILTERS

  • Filters narrow down your equipment list by showing only those equipment that matches certain criteria defined by you
  • You can filter by data fields and equipment properties

SORTING

  • Sorting helps you in arranging your equipment list in order, according to one data field. You can sort from A to Z or Z to A
    • Table layout: you can do the sorting for each column
    • Split layout: we have predefined some sorting criteria and you can also sort your display fields

GROUPING

  • Organize the equipment list into groups based on a certain display field
    • Table layout: you can do the grouping based on one display field (table column)
    • Split layout: we have predefined some grouping criteria and you can also group using one of your display field

VIEWS

  • Views are ways of how your equipment list will be displayed and they help you to focus on the equipment that matters to you most by defining your own layout, display fields, sorting, grouping, and filters
  • You can use our predefined views, which we called Standard views. Or you can create and customize your own view and then share it with the others
