Attributes |
Note: This tab was previously called Addl Data prior to version 18.0.
The Attributes tab enables you to display information about subsystems and parts associated with equipment units.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can search on equipment ID, maintenance class, SLA equipment category, assigned repair location ID, station location ID, and department ID, among other values. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a range, any record that crosses any part of that range will be displayed.
Note: Filtering data based on fuel/fluid type uses the information in the Supported fuel/fluid types screen group on the Codes tab.
The Rail Equipment screen supports location level and department-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Equipment ID
Identifier of the equipment unit currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field has a list box. The year, manufacturer, and model of the equipment unit are displayed to the right of the ID.
When you insert an equipment unit with an asset category that supports automatic numbering and this field is blank, the system generates an equipment ID that follows the format specified in the Custom ID structure field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen. If you specify an ID and the equipment’s asset category supports automatic numbering, the ID is not overwritten.
Whether an asset category supports automatic numbering is specified on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen.
New equipment unit
Press the New equipment unit button to activate the New Equipment Wizard, which steps you through entering the basic data elements associated with a new equipment unit.
The fields in the bottom section of this tab provide information about subsystems and attribute data from test results.
If there is a check in the Display on equipment primary field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Equipment - Attributes screen, the Selected data from subsystems and parts screen group displays subsystems and parts information. All fields are display only. The sequence of the display order is specified in the Sequence field on the Equipment Attributes screen.
Defined by
Data that defines the subsystem.
EQUIPMENT ID: The equipment ID determines the subsystem and part information in this row.
EQUIPMENT TYPE: The equipment unit’s equipment type (on the Basic Info tab) determines the subsystem and part information in this row.
MAINTENANCE CLASS: The equipment unit’s Equipment class for: Maintenance (on the Classes tab) determines the subsystem and part information in this row.
Subsystem
Name of the subsystem to use with the equipment ID, equipment type, or maintenance class specified in the Defined by field. Subsystems are defined on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Subsystems screen.
Property
Attribute assigned to the subsystem. Properties are defined on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Subsystem Properties screen.
Description
Description of the property.
Date value
The date associated with the subsystem.
Text value
Text value associated with the property.
Numeric value
The quantity of the part.
Part ID
Identifier of the part. The ID is associated with the part suffix.
Part IDs and suffixes are defined on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Primary Information screen.
Part suffix
Number associated with the part ID.
The Attributes screen group displays attribute data from the Data -> Equipment Activity -> Testing -> Test Results screen. All fields are display only.
Test element ID
Identifier of the test element included in the test type.
Description
Description of the test element.
Numeric value
For test elements that generate numeric results, the value of the test result.
Qualitative finding
For test elements that do not generate numeric results, the value found as a result of the test.
Comments
Comments regarding the test.
Test type ID
Identifier of the type of test.
Test ID
