If there is no recently viewed equipment listed (or if the user is logging in for the first time), then the ‘Recently viewed’ list displays nothing. If the recently viewed equipment list is empty, then users can click on the tags to search for equipment created by other users (other employee users or shared users) of the account under the same campus. A maximum of 20 pieces of equipment can be viewed at one time. The last accessed template (most recently viewed) will be displayed at the top of the list.
