Add/Edit...Locations...Bin Number

Bin Numbers are selected from the Equipment View Tab...Additional Info...Bin Number field. Bins are keyed according to Company and Crib Number. Bin Number generally represents the 2nd part of a 2-part key for Storage Location (Crib/Bin). When a piece of equipment is out on the floor or has been moved as a result of an event, generally, the 'Location' and 'Sub-Location' fields are used to track the equipment until it is eventually returned to its storage Crib and Bin.

Note: In newer versions, the 'Location' field takes the place of Crib Number, and 'Sub-Location' takes the place of Bin Number.

In v13, new equip field layouts, Crib Number, and Bin Number would need to be added to the layout with a User Created field to be visible.
