Defining Other Systems – An overview

You can create a system with a unique code and provide a description and status for it.

An apex location must be specified for every system that you create. The apex location is considered to be the location at the first or the top most level in the hierarchy of locations. You can also specify any additional information about the system. The following diagram depicts a typical location system.
