 If you are not yet qualified to use a piece of equipment in the Coral system,
you will not be able to enable that piece of equipment.

 First, highlight the piece of equipment in the left pane. Second, choose
"Enable" from the "Equipment Actions" menu. Next, a "Machine Enable
Information" window pops up. If not already selected, choose the "Project" and
"Account" to which to charge the equipment usage. Then, press "Ok".

 Disabling Equipment

 First, highlight the piece of equipment from the left pane of the Coral
client. Second, choose "Disable" from the "Equipment Actions" menu.

 A box labeled "Run-Data Collector" will appear. Some fields (such as pad
change information) are required and some are optional. While the fields shown
will vary for each piece of equipment, all pieces of equipment will have at
least a few standard fields. These include a "Recipe" field where you may
enter any notes to yourself on the process you performed on the equipment.
The standard fields also include the "Comments for Staff" field, where you
should send any notes to staff concerning your use of the equipment (such as
forgetting to logout or problems using the equipment which you think should
affect how you are charged for your time on the equipment). Problems with the
equipment should also be reported using Coral's built-in problem reporting
mechanism. Once you have entered all your runtime data, click the "Save and
Disable" button.

 Equipment Use History

 From the History tab in the Coral client, you can view a history of who has
used which piece of equipment.

 To view the details of the charged time for a piece of equipment, double click
the entry in the History tab grid. You will not be able to Adjust the "Machine
Charge Information".

 After you click the "OK" button, you will see the "Run Data History" of this
entry. You may adjust the Run Data by clicking the "Adjust" button.

 Advance or step back the weeks displayed by choosing the "Next" and "Previous"
options from the "History Actions" menu.

 Reporting Problems

 If there is a problem, with a piece of equipment, you should follow the normal
lab procedures to post a note on the equipment itself and to contact the staff
member(s) in charge of the tool. You should also, in the Coral client,
highlight the equipment in the left pane and choose "Report Problem" from the
"Equipment Actions" menu. This will mark the equipment with a yellow traffic
light in the Coral client (and allow other users to view the nature of the
problem before entering the lab). Staff can clear the equipment problem from
the Coral client once the problem has been resolved.

 Mutliple problems can be reported for a piece of equipment.
