Location Tab

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