01What it is
Fire device types are your company's own dictionary instead of a fixed list in the program. A new company gets 17 types, including fire extinguisher, wheeled extinguisher, hydrants, fire alarm system, sprinkler system, smoke control system, fire damper, fire door and emergency lighting.
Type parameters are the fields the technician fills in for each device of that type, for example agent and mass for an extinguisher or DN for a hydrant. The activity template is a list of activities with an interval in months.
The template is a suggestion: a new device gets a copy of it, and changing the template does not change devices already registered. The application documents the work done and does not rule on the intervals the regulations require.
- YOUR DICTIONARY
- You add types that are not on the list.
- PARAMETERS
- Device card fields with a unit.
- ACTIVITY TEMPLATE
- Activities with intervals for new devices.
02What it is for
A schedule from day one
A new device gets the activities and intervals from the template straight away.
Consistent device cards
The technician records the same parameters as on other devices of that type.
Data does not disappear
A type with devices and a parameter with recorded values cannot be deleted.
03Main options
The screen has a list of types, and every type has a card with two tabs: Parameters and Activities.
Types and how they are used
The tiles show the number of types, active types and devices in the register.
- Columns: name, template activities, number of parameters, number of devices and state
