Location Tab

The Location tab fields store mapping information, such as X and Y coordinates and GPS data. 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.  The GIS SubType Text field is automatically filled if subtypes are defined in the GIS system. You can only edit this field in the GIS geodatabase environment. If your system is not integrated with GIS, this field will not be available.

Field Ties Grid

This tab also features a Field Ties grid which allows you to document where an infrastructure is located in the field (e.g. 2 feet from south side of house). This grid is especially useful for underground assets.

To add a record in this grid, complete the following steps:

1. Right click in the grid and select Add Record. The following window will appear.

2. Enter the locations/positions in the dialog box.
3. Click to save the record.
4. Click to exit Add Mode.   
5. Click to close the window.

Editing and Viewing a Record

To edit or view a record in the grid, right click on it and select Edit Record or View Record.
