Equipment Types
Equipment types are used to group equipment for reporting and creation of requests. You can think of this as a model number master file. For instance, suppose your company specializes in selling laptops, and one of your best-selling models is the StellarBook Pro. In the equipment types database, you would have a single entry for the StellarBook Pro. If your inventory contains 50 StellarBook Pro units, each would have its own record with a unique serial number. However, all 50 units would be linked to the same equipment type entry for the StellarBook Pro.
- Go to the Equipment Types tab and click on + New Equipment Type.
