Add and view asset links using GIS

You can link assets via Accela GIS. If you have Accela GIS, and the GIS objects have been mapped to an asset type, you can select one or more GIS objects from a record set and link them to the selected parent asset. GIS also provides a visual of existing assets to help identify relationships for future assets. Once an asset is associated to a parent, it cannot be linked to another parent asset.

To link assets using GIS

1. From the Assets page, find and open the desired asset.

2. Select the Linked assets tab.

3. Select Map.

4. Using the Selection tool, select the desired object.

5. Select the desired object ID from the GIS data tab within the Select list tab.

6. From the drop-down list, select Link objects to asset.

7. Select Save.

If you have Accela GIS, you may be able to select one or more GIS objects such as assets or addresses and view them in the map viewer. The map viewer provides a visual which can be very helpful when identifying the specific areas where assets are located and assist in identifying the relationships between assets, such as lines connecting to nodes.
