Attributes Tab

The Attributes tab stores installation, location, and mapping information for the pump station. You can include the pressure zone and system in which this pump station is located, GPS data, and X/Y coordinates. You are not required to record GPS coordinate data in these fields, particularly if you use a geodatabase to maintain this information.  These fields are only provided for your convenience.  Other fields related to maps and drawings are available for your specific documentation needs.  For further location description, a text-field is also provided. In addition, you can indicate the type of pump station in the record and its total flow capacity.

Below is a list of fields in the Attributes tab that have special functionality.

Field Name

Special Function(s)

Alt. Bldg No. field

Note: The Integration w/ Facility option must be turned on for users to manually enter data in this field. Consult the Water Options topic for more information.

This field allows you to tie the pump station to a building in the Facility program. Then any equipment that is tied to that building will appear in the Other Equipment grid. Furthermore, if you have a pump installed at the pump station, any equipment tied to that pump will also be populated in the Other Equipment grid so long as the Alt. Bldg. No. field is populated.

If you do not have the Integration with Facility option turned on or do not own the Facility module, the system will automatically populate this field if the Integration with Equipment option is enabled. Each Pump Station record added will be given the next sequential number and text, "Equipment Link", in this field. This creates a record in the Building table and allows you to add equipment to the Pump Station. If you own the Facility module, you will be able to see the record created by the system in the Building module.

Note: If this field is populated, all equipment listed in the Other Equipment grid will also appear in the Equipment tab of the associated building’s inventory record (in the Facility Building module).

Building Name field

The Building Name field is automatically populated with the name of the building that was entered in the Alt. Bldg. No. field.

Project Number

This field allows you to identify the construction project number under which this pump station was created. Press F9 or click the field caption button to access the pick list. This list comes from the Construction Records module.

Note: You cannot add a construction project number from this module. Construction projects must be added in the Construction Records (Construction Records, http://support.lucitycom/downloads/helpmovies/675/Sewer/constructionrecods.wrf) module. This field only allows you to enter valid, pre-defined, project numbers.

Pipe Number

This field allows you to identify the water pipe that this inventory item is attached to. Press F9 or click the field caption button to access the pick list. This list comes from the Pipes Inventory module.

Plant ID

Links the Pump Station Inventory record to a record in the Plant Inventory. The pump station record is actually linked to a Plant Process record but this field must be filled out before the Process field. Click on the field name or press F9 within a field for a list of vehicles.

Process

Links the Sewer Structure Inventory record to a record in the Plant Process Inventory. The Plant ID field must be filled out before this field can be. Click on the field name or press F9 within a field for a list of vehicles.
