Using the PPE gear list

Summary

The PPE Gear List displays your organization's complete personal protective equipment inventory, including each item's current status and expiration date. View access depends on user permissions: Crew Members see only their assigned gear, while PPE Administrators and PPE Technicians can view all assigned and unassigned equipment across the department. It functions as the central hub for managing equipment lifecycles and maintaining compliance standards.

Instructions

The gear list provides a dynamic grid with a toolbar to search, filter, and organize your equipment data. By customizing the layout, you can track specific criteria, save custom views for quick access, log updates for single or multiple items, review item lifecycle history, and export your data exactly as it appears on your screen.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Navigation

1. Select PPE Gear List from the navigation panel.

Searching and Sorting

1. Type in the top search bar to narrow the grid to matching rows. Clear the search to bring the full list back.
2. Click a column header once to sort ascending, twice to sort descending, and a third time to clear the sort.

Filtering

1. Type directly into a column's search field to filter on that field alone.
2. Click the filter icon in the column header for more control. Multi-select from a checklist of values, or apply criteria such as Contains, Does Not Contain, or Is Blank—useful for finding gear with no assignment or a missing expiration date.
3. Click Filters in the toolbar to see every column and build or clear filters from one central location.

Customizing the Column Layout

1. Click Columns in the toolbar to check or uncheck columns to show or hide them. Drag columns in the list to set their order.
2. Drag a column header in the grid to move it, or drag its edge to set the desired width.
3. Hover over a column header to reveal the three-dot menu. Use this menu to pin a column so it stays in view while scrolling sideways, auto-size the column, or reset columns back to the default layout.

Creating Saved Views

1. Set your preferred columns, order, and filters to build a view.
2. Click the plus icon in the upper left, name the view, and click Create View.
3. Access saved views from the tabs at the top of the grid. Views save to your login, follow you to any device, and can be updated, renamed, or deleted at any time.

Viewing Item Details and Alerts

1. Click the item's name in the Type column to open the item profile.
2. Review specific equipment information on the left and the complete lifecycle history—including every inspection, out-of-service event, and past due alert—on the right.
3. Look for a red icon next to an item in the grid to identify an active alert, and click the icon to review the alert details.

Logging Events and Batch Actions

1. Check the box next to one or several items to select them.
2. Click Actions in the toolbar to log an event, set an alert, or change the item's status. Any action applied updates all selected items at once. Actions that apply to single items only are grayed out when multiple items are selected.

Exporting

1. Click Export in the toolbar to save the information as a print document, Excel spreadsheet, or PDF. The exported file retains your exact columns, order, and filters.
