Add or Edit Equipment (ADVANCED VIEW)

You can add equipment that will require inspecting to a Project/Community inspection. This section will show you how to setup the equipment description and associate it to a Project. 

“Project” and “Community” are interchangeable labels for the location where work and inspections are performed. Depending on your industry, you will see one of the two labels displayed in the software.
