Maintain External Resource URL


Utilities Menu -> Inventory Control -> Maintain External Resource URL

An external resource URL can be defined to provide more information about a bulk or non-bulk rental product.
This feature utilizes a QR (Quick Response) image to supply resource reference that is used by the 'Texada Web' In-Yard Returns.

This SRM utility can be used to view and update URLs for rental products by Class or by Group, also providing the ability to assign a URL to a bulk list of products.
Access to update the Resource URL field and to this utility is controlled by the operator Security Role Permissions to Assign/Remove External Resource URL in the "Miscellaneous" controls window.

The 'Resource URL' field can be assigned in the Rental Information window of the Rental Inventory for bulk and non-bulk rental equipment that is flagged to as 'Inventory', and in Update Product Rental Information, and the URL is displayed in the Detailed Inventory Inquiry and Inventory Inquiry.

Note: Rental Product Classes flagged as 'Re-Rent' classes cannot be updated by this utility.

The prompts are:

CLASS
Leave this field blank to include products from all Rental Product Classes, or to use a class filter enter the specific Class or select it from the Product Class Search window.

GROUP
Leave this field blank to include rental products from all Groups, or to use a class filter enter the specific Group or select it from the Group Search window.

Note: If neither the Class or Group filter are used, the operator must confirm that the output is to be generated for all products as this could be a length table.

The resulting list of products includes bulk and non-bulk rental products flagged in Rental Inventory as in 'Inventory'.
