Selecting a Location

You can select a location for a record. You might do so if the issue you are reporting or working on involves a location.

This topic explains how to use the Select Value option from the Detail menu. You also can select a location by choosing other options from the Detail menu.

To select a location with the Select Value dialog box:

  1. Display the record for which you want to select a location.
  2. Next to the Location field, click the Detail Menu icon >Select Value . The system displays the Select Value dialog box.
    Note: The list is always filtered by a value in the Asset Site field. By default, this is the site on the person record of the user specified in the Affected Person field. However, the site might be copied from an originating service request if your administrator has configured the system to behave this way.
  3. To filter the list of locations, select one of the following values from the Filter By dropdown list and then click Refresh:
    User/Custodian
    By default, lists all locations for which the affected person (the user specified in the Affected Person field of the record) is a user or custodian.
    To list locations for a different location user, custodian, or both, enter values in the User and Custodian fields and then click Refresh.
    • To list all locations that a person uses, enter the user name of that person in the User field.
    • To list all locations for which a person is a custodian, enter the user name of that person in the Custodian field.
    You can enter the same or a different user name in each field. Click Select Value icon next to a field to select a name.
    All
    Lists all locations available to the affected person. The affected person does not have to be a user or custodian of the displayed locations.
    Public
    Lists all public locations for an asset site. Public locations are locations that do not have associated users or custodians.

If the selected location has only a single asset associated with it, the system fills in that asset identifier in the Asset field.

You can view associated contracts, work orders, PMs, location details, and tickets for a selected location by selecting the appropriate option from the Detail Menu next to the Location field.
