Tool Types

When defining a tool under Admin > Company > Tools, you can choose from the following Tool Types:

1. Cut List and Other - Tool type provides the ability to send a cut list directly to the GTP STRATUS Workstation which includes General (Other) and TigerStop (Cut Lists) cuts. The Tracking Status in STRATUS can be automatically updated after each cut is made. Note: The Cut List tool type was formerly labeled TigerStop. All tool type names have been converted to Cut List.
   
2. Other - Select other when sending a Cut List to the General cutting app
3. PyperServer - A CSV export format for PypeServer cut lists.
4. T-Drill Cutting - A CSV export format for T-Drill cut lists. 
5. T-Drill Collaring - A CSV export format for T-Drill cut lists.
6. ZPL Printer - Print labels with a Zebra printer for non-TigerStop cut lists like PypeServer and T-Drill.
7. Total Station - A Total Station tool that can receive CSV points and/or DXF graphics files for hanger and other recognized points scoped out using packages.
8. NovarcWelder - Only works on the Assemblies Viewer page where an operator can select a weld and send it to the Novarc welder.

You may need to Edit the Label Template to configure the label fields. If so, please submit a STRATUS Service Desk request.
