Add inspection equipment

Click Add (1) to create a new inspection device in Memida. The add form opens.

Fig. 1: Add inspection equipment

The page is split into two columns. On the left you enter device-specific details:

  • Identification number (ID no.)
  • Serial number
  • Cost center
  • Delivery date
  • Additional fields

Many devices already exist in Memida’s catalog, saving you from entering manufacturer data manually. In most cases you only need to pick the device via the search on the right.

Select a device​

Use the search field on the right to select an existing device or create a new one. Tip: start with the manufacturer, then the category, then the model name. If the device is found, select it from the results.

If your device does not appear, check the spelling. When the spelling is correct but no match is found, the device is not yet in the catalog. Click the plus icon in the top-right corner to add it—this opens the device master data dialog.

Add new device master data​

If the device is not yet stored in Memida, add its master data as follows:

Add a new device to Memida​

Place the cursor in the Model field and enter the device name. Afterwards select the device type or create a new one.

Select or create a device category​

If the category does not exist yet, type its name into the selection field. When no match is found, Memida offers Create “category name”.

Verify the name and click it to create the category and insert it into the field.

Add a new manufacturer​

If the manufacturer is missing, enter the name into the selection field. Memida suggests Create “manufacturer name.”
