Manage Equipment is the console for moving gear: checking bags and items out to staff, checking them back in, and reassigning between teams. It is built for a scanner in one hand and a laptop in front of you, but every action also works by searching and clicking.
| Mode | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Check In / Out | Return gear, or check out gear already assigned to someone. |
| Assign to Employee | Give equipment to a person long-term, with a due date. |
| Assign to Employee Shift | Give equipment to a person for one job. Select the job, then the shift. |
| Reassign Teams | Move gear to another region, checking it in and unassigning the old crew in the same step. |
Choose Check In / Out, scan or search the returning bags and items, and click Check In. Checking in a bag checks in everything inside it. Check In / Unassign also removes the equipment from the employee and from any job shifts it was attached to.
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Not assigned to selected team | The equipment belongs to another region. Reassign teams first if it should move. |
| Assigned to employee / In bag | Someone else has it, or it is packed inside another bag. Check it in or move it before assigning. |
| Not returned | A previous check-out was never checked in. Check in first so history stays accurate. |
| Under repair / Retired | Not available. An item under repair can be checked out only if its repair status allows it. |
Use Select Teams for Equipment Search to limit scans and searches to the teams you are working with, so a bag from another region raises a warning instead of quietly being assigned.

During a morning load-out, keep this page open in Assign to Employee Shift mode with the job selected, and change only the employee between crews. Scan, confirm, next person.
