Move an item or change its status from the office

Crews usually move equipment from its tag (see Move equipment, or check it out and back in), but you can do the same from the office on the item's Details tab.

Move an item

1. Open the item and find the Move card.
2. Pick the new location, or No location.
3. Add a note if it helps, such as a delivery ticket number, then press Move.

Moving to a jobsite, vehicle or person checks the item out. Moving it back to a yard or warehouse checks it in and makes it available. An item that is in maintenance or out of service keeps that status when it moves.

Change its status

In the Status card, pick one of four statuses, add a reason if you like, and press Update status:

• Available: ready to use.
• Checked out: out on a job or with someone. Normally set by moving the item.
• In maintenance: at the shop or being serviced.
• Out of service: broken or unsafe. Don't use it.

Who is told when something goes out of service

Setting Out of service, here or from a tag, emails the office team and the person in charge of the item's location straight away — everyone except whoever reported it. Anyone who scans its tag sees that it is out of service. When it's repaired, set it back to Available.

Every move and status change appears in the item's History and in the chain of custody report.
