</div>

The complete record for one piece of equipment: identity and attributes, deficiency status, photos and file attachments (IR images, IR reports, digital IDs), its QR code, inspection snapshots, and an audit history. It's also the page a **QR sticker scan** lands on, which is why it behaves differently per role.

## Scanning a QR sticker

Every unit's QR code encodes a link to this page by tag number, on the owning tenant's address. Scanning always requires signing in; what renders depends on the account:

- **Admins and Field Techs** get the full page with all editing tools.
- **Viewers** get a clean read-only equipment sheet — no edit controls, no QR card, and internal or draft deficiency notes are hidden. This is what makes Viewer accounts safe to hand to customers: their techs can scan a unit on their own floor and see its status without seeing your internal notes.

## Header actions

- **Edit (Full Page)** — the complete edit form, returning here afterward.
- **Quick Edit** — a dialog for the frequent fields: tag number (labeled per your tenant's branding), name, site, location, make/model, NEMA and voltage dropdowns, and deficiency fields — without leaving the page.

    !!! note "Field techs can't change the site assignment"
        In Quick Edit the Site selector is admin-only; for Field Techs it's fixed with the hint *"Field techs can't change the site assignment."* Moving equipment between sites is an admin action.

- **Audit History** — slides out the change log for this record: what changed, when, and by whom.
- **Print Report** — opens the equipment report in a new tab for printing or saving.
- **Create Snapshot** — records an inspection snapshot (see below).

The **Managed** toggle on the page is admin-only — Field Techs and Viewers see the status but can't flip it.

## Deficiency status

The Deficiency Status section shows the unit's current deficiency level, priority, and notes, with an orange *Deficiency* badge when one is open. Use **+ Log New Deficiency** to record a new finding — each entry becomes part of the unit's deficiency history, and the page always surfaces the most recent unresolved one as the current state. Notes come in three levels: **internal** (never shown to Viewers), **report draft** (also hidden from Viewers), and **report final** (what customers see).

## Photos and file attachments

File-type attributes — **Device Image**, **IR Image**, **IR Report**, **Digital ID** — display as thumbnails; select one to preview it full-size. IR Reports keep every uploaded PDF, listed newest first, so thermal history accumulates rather than being replaced. Removing a file doesn't destroy it: it goes to the Dashboard's **Removed Files — Pending Review** queue, where an admin approves the removal or restores the file.

## Equipment QR

The QR card shows the unit's code with **Download PNG** for printing stickers. The code encodes the tag-number link, so it keeps working even as other details change — and it matches pre-printed stickers made from the same tag number.

## Inspection snapshots

**Create Snapshot** captures the record's state at a moment in time, with optional **Snapshot Notes** — use it to mark "as inspected on this date." The **Last Inspection Snapshot** card shows the most recent one, and **Inspection History** lists them all with who took each and when.

## Troubleshooting

**I scanned a QR code and got a login page.**
:   Expected — every scan requires an account. Customer personnel need a Viewer account for their client; your techs use their normal sign-in.

**A Viewer says they can't see the deficiency notes.**
:   Internal and draft notes are deliberately hidden from Viewers; only final report notes are visible to them. To share a finding with a customer, put it in the final report notes.

**The Site field in Quick Edit is locked.**
:   You're signed in as a Field Tech — site reassignment is admin-only.

**I removed the wrong file.**
:   It's not gone. Ask an admin to open **Removed Files — Pending Review** on the Dashboard and select **Restore**.

**The deficiency shown isn't the latest one.**
:   The page shows the most recent *unresolved* deficiency. If a newer entry was already resolved, the older open one is still the current state — check the full history for the sequence.
