This article will detail what EQU_ENABLE_INTERNAL_STATUS does within a corporation
Parameter
EQU_ENABLE_INTERNAL_STATUS
Enabling Internal Equipment Statuses will allow a user to tie the availability and active flag for a unit to internal statuses that the user will use within their shop. This allows for a greater degree of control and more accurate status reporting for units than a simple 'Active' or 'Inactive' state.
When this parameter is set to Y: The checkbox for the 'Active Flag' will become read-only on the Unit Master and the Unit Master 'At-a-Glance' screen as displayed below
If the unit is inactive, the system will just display the word 'Active' with no checkmark next to it
When EQU_ENABLE_INTERNAL_STATUS = N: Users will be able to activate / deactivate their unit using the checkbox displayed below as normal.
Unavailable Statuses
There are two areas of the system for this:
Admin -> Standard Equipment Codes > Equipment Unavailability Status (Gen 1)
If a Gen1 transitioning user had Equipment Unavailability Statuses set, they will need to either:
Recreate the statuses under the Fleet -> Specifications Menu as this is the tab Kona currently uses when selecting a status drop down. Important Note: Subject to change pending the release of I465
Reach out to the development team to have the users corporation point to a different Status table
Currently in Kona, records found under Administration -> Standard Codes -> Equipment -> Unavailable Status will not be displayed as status dropdown options for a unit
EDIT : As per notes on I465, the pages have now been combined. Statuses must be set under Administration -> Standard Codes -> Equipment -> Unavailable Status
Fleet -> Specifications -> Administration -> Unit Status (Gen 2)
Kona will only look at the Fleet -> Specifications menu.
How to Change the Status on a Unit if EQU_ENABLE_INTERNAL_STATUS = Y (Gen 2)
Navigate to the Unit Master via Fleet -> Unit Master and select a unit
Select the Status Hyperlink
Select +Add Status, a pop-up will display. Select the appropriate status from the drop-down and the date. Select Add Status when done
The new status will now appear on the History
Select Close
On the Unit Info screen, select Save/Exit to have the changes finalized.
If Status does not appear as updated, select Save/Exit and then More Info to check whether the Status updated. If the at-a-glance unit master view is turned off then just drill back into the unit after Save/Exit to verify
