The Equipment Group Update screen allows you to add or update Equipment Group Codes. Equipment Groups allow you to package pieces of equipment required for a single job. For Example: A Mowing Equipment Group might consist of a Riding Mower, Push Mower, Blower, Truck, and Trailer. When creating a job for Mowing, you can link the Mowing Group instead of having to link the five (5) pieces of equipment separately.
Note: Field names on the screen with red labels* are required by the screen design you are using. Mandatory fields in the default Vermont Systems design are noted where appropriate. Your design and mandatory fields may vary.

This creates an exact copy of the "Default" record with exception that the copy's Record Status is Active instead of Default. This allows you to save substantial time when adding new records to your database since all settings on all panels/groups and tabs will be copied from the Default record.
"Default" status records to do not show up in Daily Processing DataGrids. They exist for the purpose of being copied only. If at any time you change the status of a Default record to Active or Inactivethen it will become a "regular record" in your database and thus appear in Daily Processing DataGrids if applicable.
