How to Manage Tools and Attachments in the Updated System
Our latest update introduces significant improvements to how tools and attachments are managed within our platform. Below are the key changes and step-by-step instructions to help you navigate these updates effectively.
Tools and attachments are now part of the Assets section.
This change allows tools and attachments to be categorized using Asset Classes for better organization and improved functionality.
Navigate to the Assets section in the system.
Your existing tools have already been merged into this new section; no manual action is required for migration.
To assign an Asset Class to a tool or attachment:
Go to the Assets section.
Select the desired tool/attachment.
Click Edit and assign an appropriate Asset Class.
Asset Classes streamline data management and ensure consistent costing configurations.
We've introduced a flexible costing system that allows you to configure:
Per Hour rates
Per Day rates (with options for Half Day and Full Day)
Wet Hire and Dry Hire rates
Special rates can be defined directly in the asset itself, ensuring flexible pricing.
If no custom rates are set at the asset level, the system will automatically pull data from the assigned Asset Class.
Per Hour Cost
Half Day Cost
Full Day Cost
Dry Hire Per Hour Price
Dry Hire Half Day Price
Dry Hire Full Day Price
Wet Hire Per Hour Price
Wet Hire Half Day Price
Wet Hire Full Day Price
Set your Default Charge Out Type to either:
Wet Hire
Dry Hire
Set your Default Charge Out Duration to either:
Per Hour
Per Day
To configure Wet/Dry hire rates:
Navigate to the Assets section.
Select the desired asset.
Click Edit and locate the Hire Rates section.
Specify your desired rates for each category listed above.
Save the changes.
For efficiency, consider setting rates directly at the Asset Class level to apply consistent rates across multiple tools and attachments.
You can now add Warrant of Fitness (WOF) and Certificate of Fitness (COF) information directly to your plant records.
To add WOF/COF details:
Navigate to the Assets section.
Select the relevant Plant record.
Click Edit and locate the WOF / COF Details section.
Enter the expiry date, certificate number, and any notes relevant to the WOF/COF.
Save the changes.
This feature helps track compliance requirements and manage maintenance schedules.
Prestarts can now be performed for individual tools and attachments, improving safety checks and record-keeping.
To perform a Prestart:
Navigate to the Prestarts section.
Select the relevant tool or attachment from the list.
Follow the step-by-step Prestart checklist to complete the inspection.
Submit the Prestart to save the record in the system.
Enhanced safety protocols for smaller equipment items like drills, saws, and other tools.
