Setting Up Tanks and Fluids
Using the software, you can track and monitor tank levels based off work orders. To track this, you first need to add a tank and
its corresponding fluid.
These are the fields of information required to add a tank:
Tank ID The Tank ID field automatically displays the next available sequential ID number. You can also select
available tank IDs from the drop-down menu.
Units The Units field specifies the units of measurement that you use to track the tank level. The choices are
Gallons, Liters, Pints and Quarts.
Fluid The Fluid field specifies the type of fluid in the tank. You can also select existing fluids from the
drop-down menu.
Capacity The Capacity field specifies the total amount of fluid that may be stored in that tank. Enter a numeric
value that corresponds to the capacity of the tank (the value will be in the units you previously
identified).
Level The Level field specifies the current level of fluid in the tank.
Warning Level The Warning Level field specifies the fluid level at which you would like a warning message emailed to a
particular person. A warning message will appear on any running client screen when a completed work
order brings the tank level down to, or below, the warning level setpoint.
To use this feature, click the check box and enter either a nominal value or percentage (the other value
with self-propagate after you enter the first value).
Auto Email Check the Auto Email checkbox to bring up a screen to specify email settings for the warning message.
When the tank reaches the specified Warning Level, this email will be sent to the email recipient.
Multiple recipients can be defined. Enter a semicolon ( ; ) between each e-mail address.
OTE:N This is not a required field. This option will not run if email settings are not activated. See “Email
Settings” on page 46.
