Updating the Status of an Item

Changing the status of an equipment item allows you to understand what items are still operational within your inventory, as well as make plans with procuring more items to support your organization. 

Equipment Status Descriptions:

• Out of Service is the status for items of equipment if they are still within your inventory but cannot be used. For example, the item is now out of service due to a Failed Inspection or the item Needs a Repair.
• Retired, Lost, or Inactive is the status for items as Retired, Lost or Inactive if you no longer have those items in your inventory. See configuring retirement reasons.
• Wishlist is the status for items that you do not currently have in your equipment inventory but would like to have.
