Equipment Allocation

An Allocated Equipment Panel can be configured to show which secondary equipment units are allocated to which primary equipment units.

This might be an alternative view of the allocations shown in the Loader and Trucks Panel, or a panel might be setup to show the relationships between carriers and attachments, batch plant and ground support etc.

To set up an Allocated Equipment panel,

  1. In the Panels pane, right click on Allocated Equipment and select New Panel.

  2. Enter a name for the panel in the field provided and click Next.

  3. Use the Select Locations screen to determine the locations to be included for display in the panel.

  4. Click Next and select the Primary Equipment group or individual equipment to be displayed in the panel.

  5. Click Next and select the Secondary Equipment group or individual equipment to be displayed in the panel.

  6. Click Next and select the Operator Role for the panel display, or use a default role.

  7. Click Finish to exit and create the new panel (or Cancel to exit without saving).

Use the Allocation Display Options menu to choose whether or not to display non-allocated secondary equipment, or secondary equipment which is allocated but which is not in an operating state.

    2. If the panel is not wide enough to show all primary equipment units, you can resize the panel or use the horizontal scroll bar to view those equipment units.

Allocated Secondary Equipment

Operating

Secondary equipment allocated to primary equipment and in an operating state, are shown directly below their allocated primary equipment.

If secondary equipment is dragged onto the “Operating” area, you will be prompted to select an operating status.

Non-operating

Secondary equipment allocated to primary equipment but NOT in an operating state, are shown directly below operating secondary equipment.

If secondary equipment is dragged onto the “Non-operating” area, you will be prompted to select a non-operating status.

If the panel is not wide enough to show all secondary equipment units, you can resize the panel or use the vertical scroll bar to view those equipment units.

Unallocated Secondary Equipment

Unallocated secondary equipment are shown in the lower half of the panel. A splitter bar is used to separate unallocated secondary equipment from the allocated secondary equipment in the upper half of the panel.

If secondary equipment is dragged onto the “Unallocated” area, you will be prompted to select a location and a status.
