Use this activity to check out tool and equipment that is required to execute a forward/line maintenance work task.
In the Check Out Tool/Equipment to FLM Work Tasks page the tool/equipment demands can be filtered out based on different dimensions. For example, by using the Assignee field and selecting a Person ID of a technician, it is possible to identify the tool/equipment demands needed for him/her to perform the assigned tasks.
The check out of tool/equipment can also be done from the Task Details page.
Once the required tool/equipment demand are selected, you can use the Check Out option to select the tool/equipment to check out, to whom it should be checked out and the estimated time for usage and return.
If a tool/equipment has been allocated prior to the check out, that tool/equipment will be defaulted in the Check Out page, but can be changed to another tool/equipment if needed.
Note: If security checkpoint is enabled, sign off is required when checking out tools and equipment.
