Check Out / Assign Tools or Containers to a Jobsite

Question: How would I check out or assign tools to a jobsite. Is a Jobsite a “Location”
or an Employee…….I don’t see any mention of this in the application?

Answer: Jobsites typically fall under the category of “Location”. A “ Location” falls under the
category of “Facility”. A ‘Facility’ can be a real, physical facility (a building, a campus, Lab office….etc.). Or, it can be a pseudo (virtual) place (jobsites, vehicles, projects….etc.).

So, to assign anything, tools/equipment or containers (which are, technically, tools) to a jobsite, First:

  • From the Support Tab | Select Facility Administration

Add a Facility named “Jobsites”
Add any additional detail you wish on this screen
Select SAVE

  • From the Support Tab | Select Location Administration

Select Add
Select Facility “Jobsites” from the drop down arrow
Fill in the Location field with the Jobsite name
Assign the Location (IE., jobsite) a Barcode…. this could be the
jobsite name, the PO, etc…
Add any additional detail you wish
Select SAVE

  • Now, proceed to the Check In/Out Function

in a row
