Overview

During data acquisition, technicians may use one or many reference standards to gather data points.  To better accommodate this request, Qualer implemented a tool grouping mechanism, which will allow technicians to quickly select all or some tools from the group in the work order.

Workflow

Tool Groups are created using Asset Areas-- Throughout this article we will use "Areas" and "Groups" interchangeably.  Once configured correctly, any asset groups that contain registered tools will be displayed in a new tab, called Tool Groups, in the tool selection screen for technicians:

Simply identify which group of tools you are selecting from > click "Select" to expose the tools within the group > click the appropriate check boxes to add one, a few, or all tools from the group to the test point:  

Once Selected, the tools will be added to a table for the technician to review, add, and/or remove tools as well as environmental conditions before entering completing the order.  This reference table can be reported on Calibration Certificates as well:
