      Equipment class configuration toggles

      The equipment class configuration toggles enable a user to add additional configuration features associated with the equipment class.

      • This equipment class can be a container: Allows the equipment instance of this class to be used as a container for material. For more information on equipment instances, refer to the Equipment Instance Overview article.
      • Enable integration configuration: Allows a user to set integration parameters from the Integrations tab when configuring the equipment instance of this class.
      • This equipment class requires calibration: Allows a user to manually recalibrate the equipment from the Calibration Data tab when configuring the equipment instance of this class. For more information on calibration data, refer to the Equipment Instance Overview article.

      Standard Properties toggles

      The Standard Properties toggles allow a user to attach basic properties to the equipment class. All standard properties are disabled by default.

      NOTE:

      The Standard Properties toggles only display at the equipment class level of the system.

      Custom Properties tab

      After a user creates an equipment class or subclass, a Custom Properties tab displays. Custom properties allow users to attach specific attributes to an equipment class or subclass that is not included by default.

      When configuring material classes or subclasses, custom properties can be locked so other users cannot change the value at a later time.

      NOTES:
      • The Custom Properties tab only displays after an equipment class or subclass is created.
      • The Add Custom Property dialog changes depending on the Input Type that is selected.

      Triggers tab

      After a user creates an equipment class or subclass, a Triggers tab displays. Triggers automatically change the stage of an equipment instance to keep the item clean, calibrated, and ready for use. There are three types of equipment triggers available in the system:

      NOTES:
      • The Triggers tab only displays after an equipment class or subclass is created.
      • The Add Trigger dialog changes depending on the Trigger Type that is selected.
      • Timer: Triggers a stage change after an allotted amount of time has passed.
      • Counter: Triggers a stage change after the equipment has been used X amounts of time.
      • Recurring: Triggers a stage change that repeats after an allotted amount of time has passed.
