When integrating HxGN EAM with Esri's GIS (Geographical Information System) package, both programs should reflect an accurate representation of your company assets. You may have an EAM equipment record that has not been defined in the GIS system or a GIS feature that has not been defined in the EAM system. If you want to view a piece of equipment on a GIS map, create a corresponding GIS feature for the EAM equipment record. Likewise, if you want access to EAM functionality, such as creating and scheduling work orders for a GIS feature, create a corresponding EAM equipment record for the GIS feature.
Corresponding equipment and features are linked together with a GIS object identification number (GIS ID) in HxGN Eam and GISOBJID in Esri.
