Summary

For clients who track Valves being used in association with their Tracked cylinders and equipment, TrackAbout provides a webpage to manage these types. Valve Tracking in general is included as a feature set within TrackAbout's Core Tracking module.

For clients using Asset Families, Valve Types can be associated with Families to impose business rules regarding which valves are permitted for use with specific products.
