Deleting Damages

You can use the Damages form (on page 1) to delete damages recorded for the primary equipment in the selected unit or the selected equipment.

To delete a damage item:

1. In the All Damage Items area, select the damage item you want to delete.

2. Click .

3. Click Save.

If you click Cancel, N4 closes the form without saving the changes.

N4 records the following service events when you update damages for a unit:

• UNIT_DAMAGED: If the unit was previously undamaged and you record a new damage without a repaired date.

• UNIT_REPAIRED: If the unit was previously undamaged and you record a new damage with a repaired date.

N4 also records this event if you update an existing damage as repaired along with the other damage information such as width, depth, etc.

• UNIT_DAMAGES_DELETED: If the unit damage is deleted.

• UNIT_DAMAGES_UPDATED: If a unit is already damaged and you add a new damage to it.

For example,

First, record Damage 1 N4 records the UNIT_DAMAGED event.

Then, update Damage 1 N4 records the UNIT_DAMAGES_UPDATED event.

Then, record Damage 2 N4 records a UNIT_DAMAGED event.

Then, repair Damage 1 (by recording Repaired on Date/Time) N4 records the UNIT_REPAIRED event.

Also, repair Damage 2 (by recording Repaired on Date/Time) N4 records the UNIT_REPAIRED event.

Now, record Damage 3 N4 records the UNIT_DAMAGED event.

Delete Damage 3 N4 records a UNIT_DAMAGE_DELETED event.

Again, update Damage 1 (which is a repaired damage) N4 records a UNIT_DAMAGES_UPDATED event.

Record Damages 4 and 5 N4 records a UNIT_DAMAGED event for each damage record.
