Creating a New Facility

To create a new facility, first go to the Source Summary for the source that owns the facility. Select Create New Facility from the Actions menu on the Source Summary component header.

The system takes you to the Add Facility component, where you can view or enter values in the following fields:

• Facility ID

• Facility Name

• Geographic Area

• Location Type

• Source Management Level

• Last Inspected Date

• Effective Date

• Active

• Remarks

• Source

• Portable Plant

Click in a field and enter information as needed. To save a new facility, you must enter values in the Facility ID and Facility Name fields.

• Note: The value in the Source field cannot be modified. This field automatically displays the name and ID for the source that was active when you selected Create New Facility from the Actions menu on the Source Summary component. After you save the new facility, you can transfer ownership of the facility from one source to another if needed. For more information, see Transferring Ownership of a Facility.

You can add any number of remarks in the Remarks box. To record a remark, you must first select the type of remark from the Type field, then enter text in the Remarks field.

When you are finished making changes, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved, and then takes you to the Facility Summary component. For more information, see Maintaining a Facility.
