The Equipment Equivalency tab is an editable grid view of existing equipment records that match the query constructed and executed in the Equipment Evaluations screen. You are presented with a list of all the equipment that matches the criteria specified in the Equipment Evaluations screen. Your task here is to select which of the matches presented are viable for your comparison purposes or which matches bear no relevance to your comparison objective. If, for any reason, a unit of equipment is missing, you can add that unit to the list.
In other words, it is here where you will select records of existing equipment to be compared to potential, new equipment in the Cost Analysis tab.
Actions that may be performed on this tab include:
-
Designating equipment as appropriate to be included in the Cost Analysis process, checking the Select check boxes, and clicking the Mark as Equivalent link.
-
Indicating that equipment is not to be included in the Cost Analysis process, checking the Select check boxes, and clicking the Mark as Not Equivalent link.
-
Indicating that equipment has not been evaluated for the Cost Analysis process, checking the Select check boxes, and clicking the Mark as Not Evaluated link.
-
Deleting equipment from this list, checking the Select check boxes, and clicking the Delete Selected Equipment link.
-
Adding additional equipment to this list and clicking the Add Equipment link.
