Location Tab

The Location tab is common to many Lucity modules.  There are fields that record Address, Cross Street, Street Location, and Zip Code.  There is also a Street Location text field for further description.  For precise locations, there are fields that record elevation and GPS 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.  

Like several of the tabs above, the Location tab has some fields with linked data.  These fields and their linked features are described in the table below.

Field Name

Linked Features

Segment ID

Intersection ID

These fields share data with the Street program.  You can select a value from a "pick list" by using F9 or by clicking the ID button.  This feature allows you to link your assets.

Street Light Rate

Pole Rate

Years to Pay

The data in these three fields comes from the Street Light Library. When a Library Code is selected, the system fills this data automatically. Please reference the Street Light Library help guide for further information.

Road Number

This field allows you to associate your asset with a road from the Road. To select a road, click on the field caption button or press F9 to access the pick list.

Ref Post

Reference Posts are generally recorded in miles and are also known as Mile Markers. These posts typically do not move when a portion of the road is contracted or expanded. The reference post will be displayed in the corresponding Roads record.

Org. Station

This field is provided to identify the original stationing point and is generally recorded in feet. Stationing does not necessarily reflect the location of the Reference Post. This is a numeric field designed for linear referencing.

Curr Station

This read-only field is used by the system to reflect changes from the original stationing point. Changes are recorded in the associated Roads record when a road is contracted or expanded. If changes have been made and are not yet reflected in these fields, you may need to run the "Update Stationing" Toolkit function in the Roads module. Follow the link for additional information.
