Common Tabs

There are several tabs that are common to most or all equipment data dialog boxes. These include:

Location Tab

You can specify the location of the equipment on the floor of a building. You can give the location a name, specify the X and Y coordinates of the location, and select a floor.

The coordinates could be measured in feet, for example, or they could represent points on a grid. There are no units associated with the coordinates, so you can use whatever measurement makes sense for you.

For more information, see Facilities, Floors, and Locations.

Figure 1: Location Tab

Option Description
Facility

The building in which the equipment is located. Facilities are set up under the Tools > Options arrow under Facilities.

Location

The location of the equipment. This is the combination of the Ref 1 and Ref 2 boxes set up on the location. Locations are set up under the Tools > Options arrow under Locations.

Description

This is a description of the location. The default description comes from the location, but you can change it. You can type up to 32 characters.

X

This is a numeric value (such as feet or grid locations) that represents the horizontal location. The default X value comes from the location, but you can change it.

Y

This is a numeric value (such as feet or grid locations) that represents the vertical location. The default Y value comes from the location, but you can change it.

Floor

Select the floor where the equipment is located. Floors are set up under the Tools > Options arrow under Floors.

Comments Tab

All equipment data dialog boxes contain a Comments tab. Use this space to write notes on the device.

Figure 2: Comments Tab in Equipment Data Dialog

Option Description
Data Status Enables you to specify whether the data entered for this item is estimated, verified or incomplete. You can run a query to select items that are incomplete or estimated. Then you can color code the selected items by picking a color from the color palette.
(Comment Area) Type the comments you want to attach to this equipment item.

Hyperlinks Tab

Use hyperlinks to link to additional documentation or URLs outside the device library.

Figure 3: Hyperlink Tab of Equipment Data Dialog Box

Every equipment data dialog has a Hyperlink tab. Use it to create links to additional reference information. This can be documentation or web URLs, for example.

You can also hyperlink work permits created by EasyPower. See Work Permit Files for more information.

Note: Your computer must have the related program installed to open the file—for example, to open an Excel spreadsheet, you must have Excel installed.

Option Description
Open Opens the selected hyperlink. You can also double-click on a hyperlink to open it.
Delete Deletes the selected hyperlink.
Add

Click to open the Add Hyperlink dialog box. Type the text you want to appear in Text to Display box and select the file to which you want to link by clicking Browse. You can also type the URL of a web page.

Click Open Link to view the linked item or web page and verify that the link works.

Edit

Click to open the Edit Hyperlink dialog box. Type the text you want to appear in Text to Display box and select the file to which you want to link by clicking Browse. You can also type the URL of a web page.

Click Open Link to view the linked item or web page and verify that the link works.

Figure 4: Add Hyperlink Dialog Box

To open the file or URL in the list, double-click the item or select it and click Open. You can also delete or edit the hyperlink.

Media Gallery Tab

Use this tab to store media such as pictures of the equipment. You can add media from a file on your computer or you can link to media that is already in the Media Gallery. If you import media, such as from an OnSite project, the media appears here.

You can toggle between having the tab hidden or displayed by clicking the blue arrow in the corner of the data dialog box, as shown below.

Figure 5: Media Gallery Tab in Data Dialog Box

Option Description

Filter by tags

After you create tags for a media file (see Tags), you can filter by the tag name by selecting the tags here. You can filter by multiple tags.
Show Enables you to further filter the images shown, such as by an OnSite data import.
(Media area)

Thumbnails of the media files are displayed here, arranged by date. You can use the slider at the bottom of the dialog box to increase or reduce the size of the thumbnails. The name that appears on the file comes from the Description field.

Click on a thumbnail to open the file.

File name The name of the media file. It is for reference only.
Date added The date the file was added—for example, when it was imported.
Description The description of the file. If you change the name here, it changes the name on the thumbnail, but does not change the name of the file itself. This option is not available if more than one media file is selected.
Notes Notes for the selected media file. This option is not available if more than one media file is selected.
Linked to The equipment to which the media file is linked. There can be more than one.
Tags You can add a tag to a media file by selecting the file, typing the tag name (or selecting an existing tag), and then clicking Add. The name appears to the right. You can add multiple tags to a media file. Tags are useful for filtering media files. See Filter by tags.
Add

Add a media file to the equipment item, such as a file that is somewhere on your computer.

This is slightly different from Link, which lets you link to a media file that is already in the Media Gallery.

Link

Link an existing media file in the Media Gallery to the equipment.

This is slightly different from Add, which lets you add media to the Media Gallery from your computer.

Remove Remove the selected media file or files from the equipment.
