You can classify tools to make it easier to distinguish
a tool from similar tools. Attributes that you can use include size,
speed, material, and capacity.
About this task
Classifying tools also helps you search for them quickly.
If you do not remember a tool number, you can use a classifications
search. While working with work orders, job plans, and on purchasing
lines, you can use the
Detail Menu in the
Tool field
to view classifications, attributes, and associated tools.
Procedure
- In the Tools application, open a tool record.
- Click the Specifications tab.
- In the Classifications field, click Detail
Menu and then Classify to select
a classification path for the tool.
- In the Alphanumeric field or Numeric field,
specify a value for the tool.
- Specify a value for the measure unit used to express the
attribute. For example, if the attribute is SPEED, the
unit of measure can be MPH, for miles per hour.
- Save your changes.
What to do next
If you need to change a tool's specification, reclassify
the tool from the
Classification field or change
the values in the Specifications table.
