The Child Equipment tab shortcut menu contains the following options.

| Find Existing Equipment | Opens the Find Existing Child Equipment search window. See [Find Existing Child Equipment](/v1/docs/find-existing-child-equipment). |
| --- | --- |
| Create New Equipment | Opens the Create New Child window so you can add a new piece of equipment to the Inventory as a child of the current piece of equipment. See [Create New Child Equipment](/v1/docs/create-new-child-equipment). |
| Dissociate Equipment | Deletes the relationship between the selected child equipment and the main equipment. This option is available once child equipment has been added to the list. See [Dissociate Child Equipment](/v1/docs/dissociate-child-equipment). |
| Bulk Dissociate Equipment | Deletes the relationship between all of the listed child equipment and the main equipment. This option is available once child equipment has been added to the list. See [Bulk Dissociate Child Equipment](/v1/docs/bulk-dissociate-child-equipment). |

You cannot add Child Equipment to another Child Equipment from this window. To add "grandchild" equipment, you must save the current Child Equipment information, open that Child Equipment (as a "parent"), and add Child ("grandchild") Equipment from that window. You cannot create grandchildren equipment from this window, they must be created independently.
