Open the 
Tools Card window.
Tools General Tab
If you would like to define tools to be used in maintenance activities and/or associate a cost with the use of tools, use this form to create and maintain information about your tools. The tools card is divided into two sections; they are the General Tab and the Cost Tab. Under the general tab you will find reference information about the tool.
No. – The value in this field is either a user entered value or a system generated number for the tool established in TAG. It becomes the identifier and the "key" for the tool throughout the TAG applications and database.
Description – Use this field to record the name or to describe the tool.
Planned Orders – The value shown in this drilldown capable field represents the number of Planned Orders upon which this Tool is currently assigned.
Released Orders – The value shown in this drilldown capable field represents the number of Released Orders upon which this Tool is currently assigned.
Work Procedures – The value shown in this drilldown capable field represents the number of Work Procedures upon which this Tool is currently assigned.
Assigned Templates – The value shown in this drilldown capable field represents the number of Templates upon which this Tool is currently assigned.
Date Meter Policies – The value shown in this drilldown capable field represents the number of Date Meter Policy Cards upon which this Tool is referenced.
Tools Cost Tab
Use Navision Cost – The action of clicking this check box will cause TAG to retrieve the current value of the tool (by using the No. key) from the Fixed Assets table. If the tool is found in the table, the current value of the tool will be placed in the Total Cost field (below). If this field is left unchecked or no tool is found in the Fixed Assets table, no value will be placed in the Tool Cost field.
Tool Cost – The value in this field may be manually entered or retrieved from the Fixed Assets table (described above).
Maintenance Proportion – Using the value in the Tool Cost, this field is used as a percentage multiplier to calculate the Proportioned Tool Cost (below) field. The valid range of numeric values in this field is 100 to 0.01.
Proportioned Tool Cost – This field contains the result of the multiplication of the Tool Cost field by the Maintenance Proportion field divided by 100.
Use Charge Multiplier – With an established Proportioned Tool Cost, the value in this field will be used to calculate, by multiplication, the value to populate the Tool Use Charge. The valid range of numeric values in this field is 100 to 0.01.
Tool Use Charge – The value in this field is used to cost a work activity when this tool is used and is the result of the multiplication of the Proportioned Tool Cost field by the Use Charge Multiplier field divided by 100.
Tool Use Charge Override – If a value is present in this field, it is used to cost a work activity when this tool is used to perform a maintenance activity.
