UW CORAL Web Front End : Location Tab

Maintenance

Similar to equipment, users can report comments, problems and shutdowns on locations; these reports are made and resolved through the Maintenance tab.

Shutdowns on locations shut down all equipment in that location, similar to equipment dependencies.

The maintenance tab allows you to search the existing log of issues, by filling in the filter form and pressing Search. This will bring up a list of matching comments, problems or shutdowns. Clicking the line number at the left of each entry will display the details of that entry, and allow staff members to update the issue or mark it resolved.

To make a new comment, or to report a problem or shut down a location, simply press the appropriate button and fill in the summary. An email containing your summary will be sent to the location list, including all staff in that lab.

To provide an update on a problem, e.g. when necessary replacement parts will arrive, press the Update button at the bottom of the form.

To mark an issue as resolved, check the Completed box, fill in any appropriate resolution message, and press Submit.
