Manual

If you do not link a profile and layer with a preference, users can manually define GIS features by clicking Create GIS Feature when defining new EAM equipment.

HxGN EAM displays the Create GIS Feature pop-up window where users will specify the Layer, Location X, and Location Y for the creation of the GIS feature. After users submit the information, a GIS ID number is generated.

  1. Select Administration > Security > User Groups.
  2. Click the GIS Preferences tab.
  3. Click Add Preference.
  4. Specify this information:
    Profile
    Specify the HxGN EAM equipment profile that the system should use to create the GIS features.
    Note: Profiles designated as GIS profiles are displayed.
    Layer

    Auto-create
    Select if you want the system to automatically generate a GIS ID number and populate the default Layer, Location X, and Location Y.
