Hardware reference

Unit fields

These are the fields in the Add Hardware and Edit Hardware dialogs, plus the values Omni fills in for you.

Field	Required	Type	Notes
Serial Number	Yes	Text	Must be unique. Shown as the unit’s heading everywhere.
Status	Yes	List	Available, In Progress, Active or Inactive. New units start as In Progress.
Type	Yes	List	Crib, QDU or SBU.
Model	No	Text	Blank shows as N/A.
Owner	No	Text	Blank shows as N/A.
Hardware ID	Set by Omni	Read-only	Shown under the serial number.
Jobsite, Supply Point	Set by assignment	Read-only	Filled while the unit is assigned to a supply point. Blank shows as N/A.

Statuses

Status	Badge	Meaning
Available	Blue, thumbs up	Available in stock.
In Progress	Pink, half-filled circle	Being worked on. The default for new units.
Active	Green, check mark	In service.
Inactive	Red, cross	Retired.

Statuses appear in this order in the chips, in the Status list and when you sort by status. Any status can be chosen at any time; status does not depend on assignment.

Assignment rows on the Assignments tab have their own status: Current while the assignment is open, Completed once the unit has been unassigned. Sorting by Status lists Current before Completed.
