11.7.1

Existing EAM user is implementing GIS, has existing equipment records such as assets, systems, and positions in EAM, and needs to create them as features in the GIS database.

  1. Determine which GIS layers will be integrated with HxGN EAM.

  2. Add the GISOBJID and UPDATE_COUNT columns to each layer’s attribute table. The GISOBJID is used to link each map feature to HxGN EAM equipment and the UPDATE_COUNT column is for tracking updates to the feature record. These are discussed in more detail later.

  3. Consider which if any fields from GIS need to be available in HxGN EAM and use the integration toolbar to create the data mappings. Map fields from the layer table to corresponding fields in HxGN EAM. A detailed discussion of mapping requirements is considered later.

  4. In HxGN EAM, create equipment profiles for each type of equipment that will be synchronized between HxGN EAM and GIS.

  5. Create equipment classes or copies of the equipment screens to correspond with layers if needed.

  6. Use the HxGN EAM GIS integration toolbar to link the various HxGN EAM equipment profiles to specific layers and then synchronize the records.
