Serial Number Text

This page describes the Serial Number Text setting in the Service Orders module.

---

Use the Serial Number Text setting to record comments and notes about individual Serial Numbered Items. You can enter a single record in this setting for each Item/Serial Number combination. The comments will be shown where appropriate in the Service Order Status report, obtainable from the Operations menu (Windows/macOS) or Tools menu (iOS/Android) in the Service Order window.

To work with the Serial Number Text setting, first ensure you are in the Service Orders module using the [Switch Module] button in the Navigation Centre. Then, if you are using Windows or macOS, click the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre and then double-click 'Serial Number Text' in the resulting list. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon) and then tap 'Serial Number Text' in the 'Settings' list. The 'Serial Number Texts: Browse' window opens, listing the records that you have already saved in this setting. Double-click or tap a record in the list to modify it, or select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or from the + menu (iOS/Android) to create a new record.
