This topic explains how to edit the location of a perimeter in the Assets section from the Organization module. You can specify the perimeter’s location or simply provide a description. The system will suggest a location but the coordinates for it will not be completed until you confirm the suggestion by selecting the pin, dropping it back into place, and saving these changes. This default suggestion varies according to the language in which the system was installed (Washington D.C. for English and Spanish; Brasília for Portuguese). If a location was specified for a perimeter, the suggested location for any sub-perimeters will be the parent’s location. An internet connection is required to display maps, and the option to display them must also be enabled in the Display Options section of the Administration module. The map and address search providers must be preconfigured in the system configuration file (web.config). Keep in mind that some providers require a key or access code that is available only to those who purchase their license. It is the user’s responsibility to acquire it.
