A Feature’s Global Identifier Is Key To Synchronization

The GIS feature’s unique global identifier serves as a cross reference between the systems. When a feature is synchronized from the GIS system its global identifier is stored on the asset location entity as a unique GIS identifier. The ongoing synchronization process relies on this cross reference to uniquely identify assets to update when changes are made to their corresponding features in the GIS system.

When a user creates a new work location using the GIS Map Viewer, a corresponding new feature of “Work Location” class is created in the GIS system. The unique global identifier of the new feature is captured as a GIS identifier of the new work location entity for cross reference.
