Locations

Locations are geographic points where work will take place. Locations may represent the street address or map coordinates of Work Order assets or a place where work needs to be done that is not tied to a specific asset. When crews must perform the same task at multiple sites—such as pothole or sidewalk repairs—the Work Order system enables users to identify multiple locations.

In certain instances, it may be useful to create a new Work Order at the same location and the link the work orders together. This feature is particularly useful when follow-up work is required at a work site.

Examples:

Location-Related Fields

Address

Street Name

Street Name 2

Apartment/Suite

Loc City

Loc State

Loc Zip Code

Identify where the work outlined in the Work Order will take place.

  • These fields display address details for the first record in the Locations grid.
    • If the user completes the Work Order's Address fields or adds a record to the Locations grid first, that information becomes the first record in the Locations grid.
    • If the user adds an Asset to the Work Order first, the address of that asset becomes the first record in the Locations grid.
  • These fields also provide users with a quick way to add records to the Locations grid. If a user types location information into these fields, the information is saved to the Locations grid.
    • If the address fields are already populated, the newly entered information is saved as a separate record in the Locations grid.
    • The address fields will always revert to displaying the information for the first record in the Locations grid.
