Assigning Troubleshooting Guidelines to Items

You can assign troubleshooting guidelines to items to help the technician solve problems or set up a list of questions to ask relating to the specific items. These troubleshooting guidelines also apply to the service items that represent the items unless you have assigned troubleshooting guidelines to them directly.

If you do not assign troubleshooting guidelines to an item, the item inherits the troubleshooting assigned to the service item group it belongs to.

To Assign Troubleshooting Guidelines to Items:

  1. Open the Item Card window.

  2. Browse to the item to which you want to assign troubleshooting, and click Item, Troubleshooting Setup. The Troubleshooting Setup window appears.

  3. Press F3 to enter new troubleshooting guidelines for the item. The program has already filled in the Type and No. fields with the appropriate information for the item.

  4. In the Troubleshooting No. field, click the AssistButton to see the Troubleshooting List window. Select the relevant troubleshooting number, and then click OK to copy it to the field.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each set of troubleshooting guidelines you want to assign.
