Attributes Tab

The Attributes tab is used to record basic information about a mast arm/span.  Among other things, it can include the mast type, direction, material, type of connection, and dimensions. Additionally, this tab tracks inspection information including the overall condition, last action taken, and dates for the last inspection and next inspection. Several fields in this tab have special functions. These are described below:

Field Name

Special Function

Pole Type

The Pole Type field is carried over from the Pole Inventory record when the Pole Record Number is selected in the header.

GPS Coordinate Fields

The Start/End coordinate and elevation fields allow you to document a location using 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.  

Default WO Cat

This field allows you to set up a default category for your asset. Multiple categories are available in the pick list. To view the categories, press F9 or click on the Default WO Cat button. When a work order is created, the default category and related asset information will be imported into the new work order record.
