Asset - Geographic Data tab

The Geographic Data tab enables you to capture geographic information relating to an asset's physical location. This information can be used for various asset maintenance purposes. On Key does not provide any additional GIS-specific functionality. However, the information captured here can be extracted by third-party Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Note! The Geographic Data tab cannot be included in the edit screen's tab order.

The Geographic Data tab consists of three sections: Geographic Location, Geographic Details, and Notes.

Geographic Location

The image below shows the map controls:

This section enables you to do the following:

Navigate the map
Search for a location
Add asset's location
Move a location
Remove a location

How to ... Navigate the Map

Click and drag the map to move it in any direction
Use the Navigation controls to move the map in any direction
Double-click an area on the map to zoom in
Move the mouse cursor over the Zoom () button, then use the slider to zoom in or out
Click the Fullscreen () button to maximise the map

How to ... Search for a Location

Type the location's coordinates in the Search text box.
Click the Search () button.
The location will be indicated using a Target Location marker ().

How to ... Add an Asset's Location

	Single-point asset	Linear asset	Area asset
Description	Used for assets that occupy a single point on the map. For example, a pump, crane, or air conditioning unit.	Used for assets that exist along a linear route. For example, a pipeline or road.	Used for assets that take up a specific area. For example, an office building or warehouse.
Example
Steps	Click the Location Type drop-down and select Point. Select the location by either: Typing the coordinates in the Search text box, and clicking the Add location () button, OR Selecting the point on the map NOTE: The asset's location will be indicated using the Map Location marker ().	Click the Location Type drop-down and select Line. Select the linear asset's start point by searching for it or selecting it on the map. Select the next point along the linear asset's path. Repeat until you reach the linear asset's end point. NOTE: The linear asset's path will be indicated using a solid black line between the Map Location markers.	Click the Location Type drop-down and select Area. Select a point along the asset's boundary by searching for it or selecting it on the map. Select the second point along the asset's boundary. Select the third point along the asset's boundary to create to create a polygon. Add the remainder of the points around the asset's area. NOTES: All points created after the third point will be joined between the last and first points created. SQL Server limitations: Some versions of SQL Server do not allow area lines to intersect. Some versions of SQL Server require you to draw area points in counter-clockwise order. Please refer to your SQL Server documentation for more information about the features it supports.

How to ... Move a Location

Select the asset's Map Location marker ().
Click and drag it to the new location.

Alternatively, click the new location on the map, and then click the Move location () button.

How to ... Remove a Location

Select a the asset's Map Location marker ().
Click the Remove location () button.

Geographic Details

The Geographic Details section includes the following fields:

Reference Asset	Specifies the reference asset used for this asset. Click the Lookup () button to select an asset. The reference asset's location will be displayed with a blue location marker (), or a solid black line if it is a linear asset.
Measurement Unit	Specifies the units of measurement used for the offset values. Click the Lookup () button to select a measurement.
Start Position	Specifies the start offset. Must be an integer.
End Position	Specifies the end offset. Must be an integer.
Length	Specifies the overall length. Must be an integer.

Geographic Notes

This section lets you capture any additional notes or observations you may have regarding the asset's location.
