How to manage Equipment in Favorites

Equipment in Favorites

Use Equipment in Favorites to keep a reusable list of the trucks, mowers, tools, and other equipment your business owns.

After equipment is added to Favorites, you can assign it to crews with a quantity, so each crew has the right equipment listed.

What is Equipment in Favorites?

The Equipment tab is your equipment register in Duranta.

Each equipment item can include:

  • Equipment name

  • Equipment type

  • Description

  • Purchase price

  • Salvage value

  • Expected life

  • Serial number

Equipment can then be added to crews from Favorites → Crews.

Where to find Equipment

  1. Open Duranta in the web app.

  2. In the left sidebar, select Favorites.

  3. Open the Equipment tab.

Equipment is available on the web app only. It does not appear in the mobile app.

Add equipment

  1. Go to Favorites → Equipment.

  2. Click the create '+' button.

  3. Choose an equipment type.

  4. Enter the equipment name.

  5. Add any optional details.

  6. Click Save.

Equipment name is the only required field.

Equipment types

Each equipment item needs a type.

Type

Description

Vehicle

Trucks, trailers, and road-ready work vehicles.

Machinery

Mowers, blowers, string trimmers, and other powered equipment for field or site work.

Hand Tools

Portable tools used for maintenance and detail work.

Other

Equipment that does not fit the other categories.

New equipment starts as Vehicle by default. Change the type if needed.

The equipment type also controls the icon shown when you add equipment to a crew.

Equipment details

Equipment details are optional.

Field

Description

Equipment description

Optional notes, such as model number, normal storage location, or attachment details.

Purchase Price

What you paid for the equipment.

Salvage Value

What you expect the equipment to be worth at the end of its life.

Expected Life

How long you expect the equipment to last. You can choose years or months. Decimals are supported.

Serial Number

Serial number or other identifying value.

Purchase price, salvage value, and expected life are stored for reference. Duranta does not currently use them for proposal pricing, job costing, or depreciation calculations.

The Equipment list

The Equipment list shows saved equipment items.

Items are listed by name, with the description shown underneath.

Each row includes:

  • Star — star or unstar the equipment item

  • Name and description

  • ⋯ menu — open item actions, such as Delete

Search matches equipment names and descriptions. Selecting a row opens the equipment item for editing.

Starred equipment appears at the top of the list.

Add equipment to a crew

Equipment is assigned from the crew, not from the Equipment tab.

To add equipment to a crew:

  1. Go to Favorites → Crews.

  2. Open an existing crew or create a new crew.

  3. Find the Equipment section.

  4. Search for the equipment item.

  5. Select it to add it to the crew.

  6. Set the Qty for that equipment line.

  7. Click Save.

A crew can include multiple equipment items. The same equipment item can also be used on more than one crew.

Quantity and individual units

Quantity is set on the crew, not on the equipment item.

For example, if one crew carries three blowers, add the blower to the crew and set Qty to 3.

If you need to track individual equipment units separately, such as three mowers with different serial numbers, create a separate equipment item for each unit.

Duplicate equipment

You can duplicate equipment from the menu.

This is useful when you need to create several similar equipment items.

For example, you can duplicate a mower, update the serial number, and save it as a separate item.

Delete equipment

To delete equipment:

  1. Go to Favorites → Equipment.

  2. Open the equipment item’s menu.

  3. Select Delete.

  4. Confirm.

Deleting equipment cannot be undone.

💡If the equipment is assigned to crews, it is removed from those crews. The crews themselves are not deleted.

Finding equipment faster
