MAC Address Unique

The user requires that the MAC Address value is unique across the application.

Must Have

• The following columns will be added to the Incident Equipment Grid, Order Equipment Grid, and Actions Equipment Grid.
  
  

  • Equipment ID

  • Asset Tag

  • Serial Number

  • MAC Address

• The current Equipment column will be changed to "Catalog" and just display the Equipment Catalog Name and Description. (Currently, this column contains a combination of Asset Tag/Equipment ID/Serial Number and the Equipment Catalog Description)

5

Barcode scanner support

The user would like to use a Barcode scanner to scan in the MAC Address on Service Desk Equipment forms.

Must Have

The MAC Address field on Service Desk Equipment will accept both formatted and non-formatted MAC Addresses. Which will allow for third-party scanners to save a value into the field whether it is entered with or without a format. When the record is saved, PCR-360 will apply the format to the MAC

Address, just like it does on the Equipment Form Network Tab.

Searching MAC Addresses

The user would require consistent MAC Address searching from the Equipment grid.

Must Have

Saving a MAC Address from the Equipment form does not save the format separators; this allows for searching to work.  However, when saving from the Service Desk EQP form the format separators are saved - this behavior needs to be consistent.

7

The user would like MAC Address to NOT be updated on the Equipment until Service Desk Equipment is completed.

Must Have

Saving a MAC Address from the Equipment form does not save the format separators; this allows for searching to work.  However, when saving from the Service Desk EQP form the format separators are saved - this behavior needs to be consistent.
