  • A Hardware Created message appears, the dialog closes and the new unit shows in the list. It is unassigned until you put it on a supply point.
  • If you leave a required field and it is empty, it shows Serial number is required, Status is required or Type is required.
  • If the serial number is already registered, the message from the server appears under Serial Number and the dialog stays open so you can correct it. Any other problem shows as an error message.
  • If you close the dialog with unsaved changes, Omni asks Discard unsaved changes? and explains Your changes will be lost if you leave without saving. Click Discard to close without saving.
