Tools Master List Overview

The tools list displays all tools that have been added to the RTA software. This list can be viewed as a whole or can be sorted/adjusted for specific views. The ability to sort and customize columns as well as to export the master list are available.

Refer to Master List Functions TOC for instructions.

Refer to Adding a Tool for instructions to add tools to RTA.

This article will cover the various columns that can appear on the Tools Master List as well as actions that can be taken while viewing the list.

Searching the Tools Master List

The search bar at the top of the master list will allow the user to search by specific datasets.

Search does not exclude fields and may have multiple results. For example, if an asset is numbered as 1234 and that sequence also appears in the plate number on another asset, the system will return both results

To search for a tool number or any other applicable data from the list, do the following:

  1. Enter the data to search in the search bar

  2. Press Enter

  3. The list will re-display with all the line items that contain a matching result

Refer to Customizing Lists for instructions on using filters. t
