Creating Custom Equipment Tags

This article describes how to create custom tags using the document template system. See Part Condition Tags for the Quantum MX standard condition tag feature.

Objective

This guide will walk you through the process of generating custom condition tags for equipment that has been removed from an aircraft. Everything happens from within a Work Order, so before we begin, make sure you have a work order open and ready.

The work order heirarchy should look something like this: work order → remove equipment (discrepancy) → removed autopilot (work entry) → autopilot P/N, S/N (part)

When removing aircraft, mechanics will create the appropriate discrepancies and work entries to capture the work performed.
