Remarks

An example of the Remarks tab

The 'Remarks' tab allows the User to associate notes relevant to the Location and can serve as a method of noting any important information relating to the Location such as important events that occurred and their timing.

Click the button.

Once a Remark has been created, a User can double click to view the full contents or click the button.

Contacts

An example of the Contacts tab

The 'Contacts' tab provides the User the ability to manually associate Contacts with a Location. These Contacts represent people who may be associated with the Location. These Contacts are separate entries in the Workers/Contacts section of the application that can be associated with this Location for tracking purposes.

The User can manually manage these associations by using the 'Add', 'Add Existing', 'Edit Selected', and 'Delete Selected' functionality.

Adding New Contacts

After clicking on the Add button, the User is presented with a data-entry form used to build a basic Contact: First and Last Name, Email, and Phone Number. Adding a new contact here creates a new record in the Workers/Contacts section of the application.

Adding Existing Contacts

After clicking the Add Existing button, a list of existing contacts is presented. Contacts can be associated with multiple Locations. This list displays all Active Contacts in the system. Searching through this list and selecting multiple entries allows the User to add all the required Contacts. Check each of the Contacts that need to be associated with the Location and click the button.

Edit Selected

Sometimes it can be necessary to alter the existing information on a Location. In order to do this, PCR-360 has the button. Clicking this opens the record in a 'Manage Contact' form that the User can modify and save.

Deleting an Association

Selecting the Delete Selected button from this Grid does not delete the contact entry it merely removes the association.
