Location Tab

The Location tab is designed to store general and specific information about the location of the control valve. At the top of the tab are a few fields to store general location information. Below those fields there is a Field Ties grid, which allows users to store specific instructions and measurements about the exact location of the valve. This is especially useful for locating underground assets. Finally there are several more fields at the bottom of the tab that store GIS/GPS information.
