General - Locations

Table of Contents

Purpose

A number of MetaField objects (soil tests, concrete pours, etc.) contain a general location. Those locations are sourced from this list of Locations in the Administration module. Using pre-defined locations allows for faster data entry on a mobile device and predictable metadata for analytic purposes.

Location contexts can be managed directly in the Location grid using the check box controls.

Managing Locations

  • Click the Add Location button or the Edit button within the Location grid
  • Enter / edit the location name
  • Define which context(s) the location applies to by placing a check mark next to to the appropriate context(s)
  • Materials can be associated with given locations, so DIY sample forms can return locations that match the material association
