This master record will contain all the necessary information about the equipment, such as its location, type, and serial number.

  When creating a master record for linked equipment, it is important to make sure that all the necessary information is included. This will ensure that all related pieces of equipment are properly linked and can be easily managed. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the linked equipment, as this can affect how it is managed in the future.
