Create a tool model

Categorize tools with subtypes
Add subtypes in the Subtypes field when you create a tool model or from the tool model’s detail page; type a name and select an existing subtype, or create a new one on the spot.
Set a maintenance interval
Enter the maintenance interval as a list of {number}{unit} segments using this shorthand:
| Shorthand | Unit |
|---|---|
d |
Day |
h |
Hour |
m |
Minute |
For example, 1d 2h 20m is an interval of 1 day, 2 hours, and 20 minutes.

Open a tool model from the Tools Library to reach its detail page. Fields in the Tool Information card edit in place and save automatically, including subtypes and any custom attributes.
- To revise the model, click Create New Revision. ION creates the next revision and opens it.

Comment on a tool
Comments let you discuss a tool model with your team.

Attach files to a tool
Attach files such as images, PDFs, and STEP/STP files, up to 100 MB each.
- On the tool model, find the Attachments section.
