The View Project Locations tool allows users to view the Asset, Address, and X/Y locations associated with Projects in ArcMap. Users can view either:
dynamic layers of Projects that are constantly updated.
Once the Projects' locations have been added to the map, the View Project Locations tool enables users to view and edit Projects. The tool plots any Project that has an Address, an X/Y coordinate or an assigned Asset.
