The equipment range filter used in many reports is designed to allow flexible selection of equipment items.
It comprises of 2 fields a ‘start equipment’ and ‘end equipment’. Dependant what is entered into these fields will affect the records returned.
An example equipment item list will be used to show how this works.
If we have a list of ten equipment items;
AC1, AIR1, BELT1, BELT2, CON1, CON2, DRV1, FAN1, MOTOR1, SPR1
The table below shows example outcomes, in all instances the outcome indicates that records matching the equipment list will be returned, this is in conjunction with any other filter criteria that the report may be using.
