Location Tab

The Location tab is designed to store general and specific information about the location of the main break. At the top of the tab there is a Field Ties grid, which allows users to store specific instructions and measurements about the exact location of the node. 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.
