On the “Types of equipment” page you manage the classification of machines and equipment (e.g. tractor, truck, combine harvester). A type is selected for each machine; it is used to group and filter machines and to link worktypes to suitable machines. The page is used by the administrator. The list, loading from a file, archiving and “Bulk edit parameters” are described in general on the Admin Settings page.
Page layout
- The “Add new machine type” and “Add from file” buttons and the “Active list” / “Archived list” drop-down.
- The table has the “Actions”, “ID” and “Facility Type Name” columns.
- The list contains both your company’s types and the common Terake types. A common type’s row has an archive button in the “Actions” column; you cannot change such a type, but you can hide it from your company’s options.
- With “Bulk edit parameters” you can only delete the ticked types (“Deleted”).
How to add or change a facility type
- Press “Add new machine type” or click the row of one of your company’s types. The “Edit machine type” window opens.
- Enter the “Facility Type Name” (mandatory).
- If needed, select in the “Inspection checklist for every use” field the maintenance schedule whose tasks are checked before using machines of this type. Clearing the selection removes the schedule from the type.
- Press “Save” (the window stays open) or “Save and close”. The window also has the “Delete” and “Close” buttons.
Form fields
- Facility Type Name: the name shown in the “Facility type” field of the machine form and in the list of machines.
- Inspection checklist for every use: the options come from the maintenance module’s schedules, described on the Maintenance module ADMIN page.
How to load types from a file
Press “Add from file” and follow the steps on the Admin Settings page. The only field in the file is “Facility Type Name”, and it is mandatory.
Who can see and change it
The page is in the Admin menu and opens only for the “Administrator” role, who can add, change and delete the company’s facility types. Common Terake types can only be archived for your own company. No other role gives a separate right to add or change facility types. If “Users have by default create privilege” is ticked in the company settings, other users, except “Observer” and “ARIB employee”, can also add a new record with the plus button next to the “Facility type” selection field on forms on other pages and change a record they added within 48 hours of adding it.
Tips
- Every machine must have a type: “Facility type” is a mandatory field on the machine form.
- Your company’s own types can only be deleted, not archived. Before deleting, give the machines of that type a new type.
- On a worktype’s “Types of equipment” tab you can tick which types of machines the work is done with; those machines are offered first when registering work. See Worktypes.
- Read about the machines themselves on the Machines and equipment page.
