Procedure

  1. Open the Functional Object or the Serial Object window and click the General tab.
  2. Enter appropriate values in the relevant fields. All fields on the Functional Object/General tab are optional and all fields except the Part No and Serial No fields in Serial Object/General tab are optional. (If you are entering general information for a serial object in the Serial Object window, you must have entered the part number and serial number when you created the object, so values in those fields already should be displayed.) Use the List of Values to select appropriate values.
  3. Select a Location ID from list of values. The location holds the address and contact information.
  4. Select the Geographical Object check box if the functional object is to operate as a geographical object (location).

Note: You cannot manually select or deselect the check boxes in the Functional Object Has, Serial Object Has, and Type Designation Has area. These check boxes are automatically selected by the system when appropriate information has been entered. Also, in the Serial Object/General tab, you cannot enter or change the value in the Current Position field because that information is automatically maintained and displayed by the system as well.

  1. Save the information (F12).
