Record tool usage on a run - ION Manual

Require a tool on a procedure step

1. While editing a step, add a field and choose the Tool field type.
2. Set the field name and help text as you would for any data-collection field.
3. To accept only tools that are currently available, select Only accept “Available” tools.
4. Use the Validations menu to constrain valid input:

• Type restricts input to a tool subtype, spanning multiple models.
  • Part Number restricts input to one specific tool model.

For the full list of step field types, see Step field types.

Select a tool during a run

When an operator reaches the step in a run, the Tool field shows a Select a tool… picker listing tool inventory that meets the field’s validations. The operator picks the tool they used to complete the field.
