Internal: GSP : EQU_ENABLE_INTERNAL_STATUS (explained)

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.
