Create a Facility

Create a facility in one of the following ways:

•Use the Facility Form. The Facility Form also has options to edit existing facility information, address, contact information, and GIS settings.

•Add a record to the DT_FACILITY table.

•In EDP, load an EDD multiple facilities using the Facility format.

•In EQuIS Enterprise, click the New Facility button or context menu option within the Explorer widget.

Creating a facility requires the following permissions:

•for EQuIS Enterprise users, Creator on the Facilities object

•for SQL users or users in Application Level Security roles, INSERT on DT_FACILITY

Name Field

In the Facility Form, use the Name field to provide a more descriptive name for the facility. The facility Code only allows 20 characters, whereas the facility Name allows 60 characters. This field updates DT_FACILITY.FACILITY_NAME in the database.

Once logged into EQuIS, the EQuIS Login window displays both FACILITY_CODE and FACILITY_NAME. If no facility Name exists, only the facility Code appears.

Coordinate Identifier and Coordinate Type

The Coordinate Identifier and Coordinate Type fields under GIS settings relate to the DT_COORDINATE table. Almost all EQuIS Professional exports require these fields, which must be populated.

Click Save when Facility Form editing is completed.
