Update Item Locations

Location Map can be used to update item locations. There are two different ways to update an item's location for a given user.

  • If they have the 'Add, edit Location Graphics' permission and update from the Graphics List page using Location Graphics.
  • If they have the 'View Maps and Location Graphics' permission and permissions to edit a particular item (eg lock, door, web auth, etc). In this case, the user can edit the location of the item from its Properties page or from the Location Map application.

How to Update Locations

2 Click on the 'Locate Item' icon. This will open up the Locator Tool. This action will be disabled and grayed out if adequate permissions aren't granted for the particular user. Please see the description above for more information.

3 The 'Locate Item' action will open up the Locator Tool above the Items Table. This component displays the name of the item whose location is being updated and its current latitude/longitude coordinates. For items that don't have a location, 0/0 will be displayed.

4 When the Locator Tool is displayed on the page, you can click on any point on the map in order to update the latitude/location input that is currently being displayed.

You can use the 'Search for Location' feature on the Location Map to look for a specific geographic location, or the 'Navigate to Item' action on the item row in the Items Table to navigate to the current item's location, if it has one.

6 After saving your changes, the app will automatically update. This might take a little longer for larger datasets. The map will automatically update and will move the marker of the item to its new location.
