What method is used to track and maintain equipment location?
OpenMETRIC maintains both a permanent location and a servicing location. The permanent location typically refers to the location where the equipment is normally located, while the servicing location tracks the item during in-lab servicing. Location changes for an item are entered on the Item Master record. Locations are validated against the Location Master to ensure accuracy and consistency. Each change to an Item record, including Location, triggers the creation of an Item Master History record, retaining the previous record contents. These historical records can be searched, retrieved, and reported.
