Location directory overview

The location directory holds information about physical (geo-spatial) locations where OT devices and processes reside. It can be accessed at INVENTORY/LOCATIONS.

The location treegrid

Locations in OTbase are displayed as a treegrid. You can filter and sort the treegrid just like other tables in OTbase Inventory.

Some locations appear in boldface and with a home icon. These are reference locations that allow for better orientation in the tree. A reference location is usually a production site; however, for installations where there is only one site, it may as well designate buildings.

Network topology for a location

You can pull a network topology diagram for the selected location by clicking on the Topology button.

Note: Topology for a location with many devices, such as a whole site, may take some time to generate.
