Some new options have been added to the Settings tab of SIMPLer, as shown in Figure 1. The purpose of these new sections is:

1. Built-In Equipment Types: Shows a list of the equipment types built in to SIMPLer, and allows operator to enable / disable the various types they would like to use.

2. Custom Equipment Types: Allows operators to add their own equipment types (labels).

On the "Built-in Equipment Types" page, the operator can choose to enable / disable individual equipment types, or to "disable all" or "enable all". The operator must make sure to click the "update settings" button to save any changes, as per Fig. 2.
