form (see previous page in this manual) The following data entry form will appear.
Here, you can enter your tool description in 50
characters or less, followed by the registered serial
number, and the estimated value of the tool.
If you wish, you may assign the tool to an employees
vehicle at this time. The list of vehicles will appear in
the drop-down list.
When complete, click OK.
Upon completion, you will see the entry in the Tool
Inventory, Available for Assignment window.
