Overview

• PO Equipment is equipment (e.g., PS1 Sampling
  Equipment, Field Water Testing Kit, Soil Sampling
  equipment, etc.) that is utilized by EH users to
  perform sampling and surveys.
• Only users with the Equipment Administrator
  Role will have access to the PO Equipment link
  within the Administration menu and the ability
  to
• Maintain survey and sampling equipment including
  manufacturer calibration information.
• Maintain vendor information.
• Add Equipment via sampling forms.

12
Overview

• Other EH Users (without the Equipment
  Administrator Role) can only select equipment
  from picklists that have already been populated.
• If the equipment does not appear in the picklist,
  the Equipment Administrator will have to be
  contacted to add the item.
