Equipment Availability

This page allows you to create a new profile for equipment selection. This profile consists of rules that will help the planner identify equipment satisfying certain criteria from among all the available equipment during planning. You can search equipment based on the parameters listed and save the parameter against the profile ID along with a value to be used as filter criteria. Based on the parameters opted for, the system fetches a list of available equipment. The user can either click the Run Profile button to fetch the list of equipment based on the filter criteria, or the system will create this list via a batch job. You can also add more equipment to the profile output via a manual search.
