Equipment Register

 

The Equipment Register is used to keep a record of durable equipment you have acquired for your aquarium. You can enter the price you paid and understand your equipment investment. It automatically keeps track of how long your equipment has been in use.

 

Entering the power usage and average daily operating hours for each entry enables the Equipment Expense Report to compute power usage and electricity expense for each piece of equipment, and in total.

 

 

 

Column Types: Date, Calculated

 

The Date and Day of Week columns are filled automatically when you create a new Register entry.

 

The quickest way to change a Date is to use the Keyboard Spinner. When the cursor is in a Date cell, simply press the plus (+) or minus (-) keys . If you hold down these Spinner keys, values will spin very fast.

 

For the fastest ways to enter Dates manually see See Appendix B - Date and Time Shortcuts.
