Capability overview

Capability records contain specialist information about a vendor, manufacturer, or location. A capability is often, but not necessarily, indicated by a license or certificate, signifying proficiency in a particular skill or skills. Some certificates have expiration dates and individuals who hold the certificates must renew them periodically.

You use the Capability (CM) application to create capabilities and certification requirements for capabilities. Using their maintenance location records, you can associate companies with a capability. You can also view capabilities that are associated with a particular maintenance location record and can renew and change the status of their capabilities.

You can search for capability records; create, modify, view, or delete capabilities; and add, update, or view the maintenance location records associated with a capability. You can renew the certificate and change its status for each company, which holds a certificate. You can also view historical capability information for each company for a specific capability.
