To add a detection area to an asbestos location room

Parent Previous Next

The procedure to add a detection area to an asbestos location room is as follows:

  1. Navigate to Quick Menu > System > Configuration > Configure Locations. The Configure Locations window is displayed.
  2. Expand a location level from the hierarchical list, or type its name into the Search for Configure Locations field, and select an associated room. By default the list is filtered to show Current asbestos location levels. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Expired, Future or All 1.
  3. Click on New Location. The Level and Room fields are automatically populated with the name of the corresponding records, and all adjacent fields are activated ready for data entry.
  4. Enter the name of the Location into the field provided e.g. Heating Duct, Ceiling, Wall, etc.
  5. Choose an Effective from date for this new location entry i.e. the date on which the record came into effect 2.
  6. Choose an Effective to date if the inclusion of the location within the hierarchical structure is to be reviewed on a specific date or to capture a change of circumstances; a blank field means the record will be continually valid.
  7. Using the Companies drop-down field, multi-select all companies relevant to the operating boundaries of this location element, or choose the All option, as required 1.
  8. Click on Save. The new location is displayed in the hierarchical list, underneath the matching level and room headings.


Tip

1 Where only a small number of parameter values are not required, activate the All tick box first and then deselect individual items from the full list, as appropriate; the All tick box will be automatically removed once an item is deselected.

Note

1 The Search for Configure Locations field will match against any level included within the hierarchical asbestos location structure.

2 The Effective from date defaults to the current system date and cannot be left blank.
