Changing the state of a tool

You can change the state of a tool to reflect whether the tool is usable or not.

  1. Select Home > Maintenance > Tool Dashboard. The Tool Management screen is displayed.
  2. Click the Tools option. The Tools area is displayed.
  3. Select a tool record and click State Change. The State Change window is displayed.
    Note: This option is enabled only if the tool State is set to Available and Rebuild. You must unload the tool before changing the state of the tool.
  4. Specify this information:
    Date
    The date and time when the state of the tool is changed.
    From State
    The current state of the tool.
    To State
    The state to which the tool is changed.
    Comments
    The additional notes or comments related to the change of tool state.
  5. Click OK.
    Note: 
    • The state of a sub-tool cannot be changed while the sub-tool is loaded in a tool pack. The sub-tool must first be removed from the tool pack before the state can be changed.
    • If an Asset State Workflow is defined for the tool asset, the state change must follow a valid transition configured in the workflow.
