How to Check Out a Tool in OrbitEquip
The asset has an open assignment with its current holder and optional return due date.
On this page
Record who has a tool and, if useful, when it should come back.
Before you start
Role needed: any signed-in member. Ask an Owner if an action is unavailable.
Plan needed: This task is available on Free. Existing records may remain available after a downgrade; see the plan guide for details.
Open the correct asset
Scan its OrbitEquip label or use Type or Browse. Confirm the result matches the tool in your hand.
Choose Check out and set the holder
Select Check out. Choose yourself or enter the person or job name shown in the form. Use the correct holder value so the crew can find the current assignment later.
Add a return date if the team uses one
Return due date (optional) can be left blank when no return date has been agreed. If you enter one, choose the day the tool should be back, then submit the checkout.
Tips
Keep in mind
Troubleshooting
Check out is unavailable.
Check: Confirm the asset is Available and is not blocked by unresolved or due maintenance.
Fix: Resolve the maintenance condition with an Owner or Admin, then retry. If the asset is already assigned, check it in first.
