e-Quip Version 4.7

Hardware & Software Requirements

Hardware and software requirements have been updated. A new server component is now required to enable several optional features, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). There have also been updates to the supporting web applications.

New Tools

We’ve introduced three new utilities to support data integrity and streamline asset management:

Security Updates

To ensure your data remains secure, we’ve implemented the following updates:

• The Select Database tool now supports:
  • Windows Active Directory Authentication
  • Explicit Encrypted SQL Server connections
• The Support account is now managed by the Integra support team.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA) is now available (requires the new server component).

Device User Portal, Dashboard & Loan Web Applications

We have updated our three core web applications:

• All web applications now target .NET 10
• All web applications now support optional Microsoft Entra ID logins
• User interface updates and redesigns
• 2FA support through the e-Quip API

New Fields

The following new fields have been added:

New Features

Version 4.7 brings major functional improvements, including:

• Checklists now exist as independent records linked to models and visible in jobs.
• Copy from any grid directly using Ctrl + C.
• Competence Groups are now available to all users without a Device User Competence licence (limit: 200 personnel).
• Traffic light filter (Red/Amber/Green) for easier filtering.
• Custom restrictions can be applied to Lookups.
• Bulk-remove models from all competence groups.

New Interfaces

• Integration with the Fluke OneQA desktop application
• Dräger DUA
• Siemens Interface

New System Options

• Hide Job Parts Enquiry button
  Option to hide the Job Parts Enquiry button.
• Extended Password Policy settings
  Enforce Special Characters and Enforce Numbers.
• Mandatory training enforcement
  Automatically remove technicians from jobs if mandatory training has not been completed.
• TNA approval-level check
  New approval-level check in TNA report generation from the desktop application.
• e-Quip MAAPI URL
  Used with the new API server application to enable MFA and other new features.
• OneQA PDF Export Path
  Used in conjunction with the OneQA interface for exporting test results to a folder.
• Disable Non-Stock Parts on Orders
  Requires that a spare part is selected when using the spare part ordering facility.
• Enforce Bins on Order
  Requires all line items on spare part orders to have a bin selected if a part is selected.
• Enable Supplier Priority Prompt
  When selecting the first part in a spare part order, the part record is checked for a higher-priority supplier. If one exists, the user is prompted to switch to that supplier; if they choose not to, they must select a reason, which is recorded in the notes.
• Code field names
  Allows the labels for the new Code 1, 2 and 3 fields on the asset screen to be renamed.
• Auto-created PPM jobs copy the current contract
  Once enabled, the current contract associated with the asset will be copied to auto-created PPM jobs.
• Prevent Zero Stock Parts
  Once enabled, the following applies when adding parts to jobs:
  • If the selected bin has a stock count of 0, the bin is cleared and a warning is shown.
  • If the bin has stock but the quantity selected would take it below 0, the quantity is capped at the maximum available and a warning is shown.
