By default, sites are not set up as equipment stores. Enabling this setting allows a site to appear as a location option when adding or moving equipment in your inventory — making it easy to track exactly where each piece of equipment is at any given time.
For example, when you first add a piece of equipment to your inventory, you might assign it to your head office or headquarters. If that equipment then moves to another site, you can enable that site as an equipment store so the new location is accurately reflected.
Setting up an Equipment Store
Go to Chime Time.
Select the Sites tab and open the site you want to make an equipment store.
On the right-hand side, locate the Equipment Store box.
Select Enable so that the toggle turns blue.
The site is now enabled as an equipment store and will appear as a location option when managing your equipment inventory.
Use case
This is predominantly carried out by office administrators and contracts managers when setting up or managing sites.
💡Tips
Enable your head office or headquarters as an equipment store first — this gives you a starting location to assign equipment to when it is first added to your inventory.
Only enable the sites that actively hold or store equipment, to keep your location list clean and easy to navigate.
If equipment moves between sites regularly, make sure all relevant sites are enabled as stores so the location can always be accurately updated.
