Creating Locations

One of AssetTrack's primary benefits is to allow you to track the location of your critical business assets. AssetTrack ships by default with the following location fields:

• Site - A location such as a building or warehouse that contains assets
• Floor - The floor within a given site.
• Room - The room number within a floor.

When getting started with AssetTrack, you should create Sites before starting to collect data with your mobile device. You can easily create Sites on your mobile device, but creating Sites first will make it easier for your data collectors. You can then have your mobile users use scan sheets instead of tapping in new locations, which will make it easier for you when scrubbing collected data.

Adding Sites

To add Sites to AssetTrack:

1. If you haven't done so already, open the Management Console. If you require instructions on how to open the Management Console, you can find them here. 
   
   
2. Double click the Locations node in the Server Navigator.
   
   
   
   
3. The Location management form appears and will be empty. Click the Add Items button to add Sites.
   
   
   
   
4. The Add Items dialog appears which will allow you add Sites to AssetTrack. Enter in one or more new Sites into the grid and press OK. You can add as many locations as you want in one step.
   
   
   
   
5. The Console will save your new Sites to the database, and your Locations management form will show the newly created Sites.
