Equipment Types allow FieldEdge to track information on a Customer's existing Equipment. This can be helpful in determining when a particular Type of Equipment should be replaced. You can also use Equipment Types as triggers to generate Custom Forms on your Work Orders. Equipment Types may be added, enabled, or disabled through the Equipment Type settings.
