Equipment List
Your equipment list defines the various pieces of your operations in a hierarchical organization, from the enterprise level down to individual machines on the factory floor. The primary purpose of the equipment list is to define how data rolls up throughout your organization.
DPM supports the following hierarchy of equipment, from top to bottom:
Equipment Type

Each time you access the equipment list, the tree structure is expanded to display the top two levels of equipment. For example, an enterprise E1 has regions R1 and R2. The initial equipment list view displays E1 and both R1 and R2. Expand the tree to view additional equipment in the equipment list.
