Retrieve Location Map Positions
Explanation
Use this activity to retrieve the position of a location using its
address fields.
Prerequisites
Map Positions should be added to the Service List for the business object
type that is being defined on the
Object Connections window.
The location should have an address defined as "Position Address" in
Location/Addresses window.
System Effects
After the position of a location has been successfully retrieved or
transferred, position objects will be created with a connection to the locations
on the Virtual Map.
Position will be inherited to any equipment object connected to the Location.
Position will also be inherited to any work order entered for such an equipment
object.

Retrieve Location Map Positions
Procedure
Note: The position is also enabled to be retrieved automatically in Location window itself, if the address
is correctly entered.
- Open the Retrieve Location Map Positions window.
- Populate the window to obtain the list of all locations or query
for an existing location (F3).
- In the Populate Filter field, select All, With Addresses
or Without Addresses depending on how you want to
sort the populated list of locations.
- In the Import Configurations group of fields, map the segments of
the location address to the address elements they match using the Address 1-7
fields. For example, the Zip Code 114 51 defined on a location
needs to be mapped to the Postal Code part of the address. Refer to the
Address Class
Microsoft documentation for more details.
- Click Retrieve Positions to retrieve the positions for the
locations. Note: If positions for locations without
addresses were attempted to be retrieved, the import of these coordinates
will fail. Click Reload Failed Positions to obtain the list of
locations for which the position retrieval failed. Assuming the address
fields were properly matched to the location address, the
reason for the failure of the retrieval is attributed to the address
information on the location being incorrectly entered. Right click on the
location and view the location information. Correct the address
information as necessary.
