Associating child equipment with equipment configurations

Associate child equipment with equipment configurations if you want to break down the configuration structure of the parent. Child equipment records may also have children of their own. Create equipment configurations before associating child equipment with equipment configurations. If the equipment configuration status is not Unfinished, you cannot associate child equipment with equipment configurations.

  2. Select the equipment configuration for which to associate child equipment, and then click the Configurations Associated tab.
  3. Click Add Configuration.

  5. Use Approved Revision—Select this checkbox to indicate that the current approved revision should always be used for the equipment configuration.
  6. Dependent—Select this checkbox to generate the child as a dependent of the parent.
