As in the Item
Appliance Tab, users can define compatible groups of non-distributed
(user-created) appliances and their bases. When accessed via the Parts
Database Menu, the command will bring up the Appliance/
Base Compatibility dialog on the left, as it does from the Item
Appliance Tab (Base dialog box). Here, a user-created smoke detector
holds four compatible bases in the description list control.
Appliances that are distributed are also listed in the Appliance drop-down menu, but cannot be altered. If no Compatible Base members display in the list control table (bottom half of dialog), then the appliance is considered compatible with all bases.
Please Note: User created appliances must have associated
Part
Numbers which are defined in the Item Detail Tab; otherwise, user-created
appliances will not appear in the Appliance drop-down menu.
To add a compatible base to
a non-distributed (user-created) appliance, simply click the Add
Member box, and the Add/Change
Group Member dialog appears, which is shown to the left. Add another
compatible base for the appliance from the drop-down menu if desired.
Change bases in the Description list control (Appliance/Base Compatibility dialog at top left) to another base by highlighting the base in the list, then clicking the Change Member button. The Add/Change Group Member dialog reappears (image above) to allow for another choice.
Remove bases with one click of the Remove Members button (in the Appliance/Base Compatibility dialog at top left).
When finished adding, changing or removing bases, click the OK button, which will exit out of the Add/Change Group Member, and the Appliance/Base Compatibility dialog (top left image) appears once again.
Click the Done button in the Appliance/Base Compatibility dialog (top left image) when finished with all modifications.
