Location Type Items  

This table is where you maintain which Location Types a Location Item belongs to.  Location Items can belong to any number of Location Types.  As you select each Location Type, you can select the Location Items to include, as well as define whether or not the Location Item should be considered “Standard” for the selected Location Type.

Location Items that are assigned to Location Types which are then assigned to Locations which are then used in Work Orders and used for tracking Maintenance History for Communities (Community Detail > Maintenance), Buildings (Building Detail > Maintenance), Units (Unit Detail > Maintenance) and Amenities (Amenity Detail > Maintenance).  Location Items can be a feature in a room, building, or of the entire community, etc.  Your Property Manager database is provided with a default set of Locations, Location Items and Location Types, which can then be customized to meat your specific needs.

A Location Item will be included in all Locations of the selected Location Types.  Location Items are assigned to Location Types at System Administration > Maintenance Setup - Location Item Types, and Location Types are in turn assigned to Locations at System Administration > Maintenance Setup - Locations.

• Location Type - The list of Location Types is standard to Property Manager and each Location Type will apply to a Community, Building and/or Unit.  One Location Type applies to an Amenity and one Location Type applies to Inventory (please see screen shot below how each Location Type is used (applies to).

• • The Inventory Location Type is special in that it is meant to classify Locations and Location Items as places where inventory is stored (I.e. - Maintenance Shop, Storage Area, Storage Building, Janitorial Closet, etc.).

• Items for Selected Location Type - Select each Item that belongs to the selected Location Type.  For example, a bathroom will have a sink, toilet, shower, door, etc.

• • Location Items have a “Standard” parameter which is set for selected Location Type.  When selected, the Location Item will always be selected for the Locations of the same Location Type and cannot be deselected from the Community Detail, Building Detail, Unit Detail or Amenity Detail > Maintenance > Maintenance Definition tabs.

  • • When a Location Item is set as Standard for a Location Type, those Location Items will show on the Maintenance Definition tabs with a Lock icon and cannot be deselected from the Maintenance Definition tabs that the Location Type applies to.

  • When a Location Item is removed from a Location Type on this table (deselected), the Location Item will still display for Locations that are assigned to this Location Type that were selected on the Community Detail, Building Detail, Unit Detail or Amenity Detail > Maintenance > Maintenance Definition tabs.  However, they will have an Information Bubble with the following message “This Item is no longer part of the general maintenance library for this location type.”  If you deselect the Location Item on any of these Maintenance Definition tables it will disappear from this list and cannot be selected again until the Location Item is added back to the Location Type.

• All Location Types for Item - As you select/highlight each Item, you will see all Location Types that the selected Item has been assigned to.

• • Each Location Type in the list is a hyperlink and if you double-click on one, you will be brought to that Location Type to look at the details of that Location Type.

• Locations Within Location Type - As you select a Location Type, this data window will display all Locations that are assigned to that Location Type.
