  • Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and see more detail. 
  • Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Installed Itemmodify (EDIT) or DELETE an existing one. 
  • Use PRINTOUTS (if available) to extract or email information related the Warranty of the Installed Item.
  • Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Installed Items. 
  • Click on ACTIONS to discover other possibilities available for Installed Items.
  • Click on the Audit Log button to view a log of changes performed on the displayed Installed Items.

In order to create Installed Items in batch use:

Creating an Installed Item via the Installed Item Data Entry screen does not place the Item in a Warehouse. A /wiki/spaces/WIP/pages/10008294 must follow to transfer the Item to the correct Warehouse.
