When adding or editing an activity, you will be able to track the equipment used on the activity.
🔑 ACCESS LEVEL REQUIRED: Member + with Draft Exercises, Events or Incidents or Equipment Editor, as well as Owners and Editors
ℹ️ NOTE: See the Track Equipment Usage during Activities in the App article to do this in the Equipment Management mobile app.
To do this:
- Open the Activity
- Select Update Details
- Go to Equipment tab
- Collapse the location that the equipment is listed
- Drag and drop the equipment to the column on the right or place the cursor in the barcode entry box and use an attached barcode scanner to select items automatically
- Once moved to the right side you can click to edit the number of hours, items used, or add mileage for each item
- Move in to another tab or click Finished to save changes
💡 TIP:
- Use the filter box on the left to filter the results to quickly find what you need
- Change the amount of hours on the right side before you drag & drop to pre-set them for everything
- Tick 'Include Contents' on the right side to also bulk-add all the contents of the item, e.g. a vehicle where everything stored in the vehicle was used on the activity
- In order to always include nested items of equipment you must configure this in Equipment Settings
Now the usage will appear on the items of equipment. Click on the Times Used to open a list of all activities it was used on.
If a disposable piece of equipment was used on an activity, the quantity of this item will now be reduced by the quantity used on the activity. You can also view how many times the supply was used and on what activity by going directly to the item.
