Equipment Dashboard

Equipment Section in the Dashboard

Go to the Equipment section of the dashboard to enter new equipment or edit existing equipment details. This is also where you can see all of your equipment in one place and filter through it to find what you’re looking for. Let’s take a quick walk through how to use this section.

To enter individual pieces of equipment into the Fuelox dashboard, simply go to equipment, plus symbol in the top right hand corner, and start entering the data into the required fields. So here we have a name, equipment mode of either on road or off road, unit of measurement will say kilometers, this is the unit of measurement for the odometer. There are some recommended fields here for your own records if you’d like to keep them, and in this extra down arrow here is the call center, which is particularly handy for the business entity that owns this piece of equipment. So your contractors or your other business entities that you’re looking after, whatever owns this equipment, it is handy to put it in the cost center so you can filter out the usage of that entity later on.

Other required fields are for the fuel compartment of the equipment, so this is what QR codes will be attached to later on.

So we can just give these a generic name for now and give it a generic volume for this example, diesel, unit of measurement, liters in Australia.

In this extra down arrow here, we have couple of extra options. Preset volume is if you want the fuel locks to stop dispensing when it hits a particular amount of liters. In this case, we’ve got one hundred, so there’s no more than a hundred liters going into this compartment, so we can set it to this.

Active and inactive, this is what we do instead of deleting because there are transactions associated with this equipment, so we make sure that will be active as default. But if you were to sell it later on or something like that you would just make it inactive. Odometer required, this is if you want your staff to enter the odometer every time a fuel dispense happens. This is particularly handy for working out burn rates and all that sort of stuff later on. Once you hit create, that equipment is then in the system.
