Dialog Options

•Campus - Enter the Campus name if applicable. If there are multiple numbered campuses you can increment the Count field to append a number and create multiple records for each.

•Building - Enter the Building name if applicable. If there are multiple numbered buildings you can increment the Count field to append a number and create multiple records for each.

•Floor - Enter the Floor name if applicable. If there are multiple numbered Floors you can increment the Count field to append a number and create multiple records for each.

•Room - Enter the Room name if applicable. If there are multiple numbered Rooms you can increment the Count field to append a number and create multiple records for each.

•Rack - Enter the Rack name if applicable. If there are multiple numbered Racks you can increment the Count field to append a number and create multiple records for each.

•Qualified Location - This is the important part. The Qualified Location is a concatenation of all the used fields. The fields are merely and organizational construct for you. WireCAD will use the Qualified Location throughout the application.

 

Example

In the following example we will add two locations using different approaches to achieve the same result.

•Enter the data across all fields:

 

•Enter the data in a single field:

As you can see from the above examples the Qualified Location is the same for both. It does not matter which approach you take.
