Getting Started with Equipment Management

Equipment Management tracks manikins, AED trainers, AEDs, first-aid kits and any other returnable asset, and can bill for them when they are issued. It is entirely optional — if you do not manage returnable equipment, you never need to open it.

Before You Begin

  • Equipment sits under Operate in the left navigation.
  • Nothing else in CPR Enroll depends on this module. You can ignore it entirely and the rest of the product works normally.
  • If you plan to charge for equipment, decide your rates before you start adding items.

The Summary Cards

Across the top of the page:

CardMeaning
AvailableItems ready to issue.
Checked OutItems currently out, with an overdue count beneath.
Needs ServiceItems in the maintenance queue.
RetiredItems removed from service.
Rental RevenueRental income over the last 30 days.

The Equipment List

Each row shows the item name, its asset tag (for example EQ-0009), status chips, and a summary line with Category, Condition and — for rentable items — the rate, such as $10/checkout. Items that are out show where they are.

Status chips you will see:

ChipMeaning
AvailableReady to issue.
Checked OutCurrently issued to a class, instructor or location.
RentableThis item can be charged for.
OverduePast its expected return date.
Service due [date]The next scheduled service date.

Use the All Status dropdown and Quick search to filter, and the checkboxes on the left for batch actions.

Row Actions

The action menu (⋮) on each row offers Edit, Issue, Log Service and History.

Statuses Across the Lifecycle

Available → Checked Out → Maintenance Needed → Out for Maintenance → Retired.

The flags are automatic. Overdue returns, damaged items and upcoming service dates are all raised for you — you do not need to audit the list manually.

Best Practices

  • Adopt one asset-tag sequence and stick to it. Mixed tagging schemes make the list hard to scan once you pass a few dozen items.
  • Use the summary cards as your daily check. Needs Service and the overdue count under Checked Out are the two that cost you money if ignored.
  • Only mark items Rentable if you actually intend to charge. The chip is a billing trigger, not a label.
  • Retire items rather than deleting them, so the history stays intact.
