Introduction Tab
The Introduction tab has only one field; the Description box shown below. Write a short description of the location there.
Access Data Tab
The Access Data tab has read-only information; you don’t have to fill in anything on it.
Node Type
Enter the type of node; whether it is a building, a city, or something inbetween.
Address
Enter the street, city, and state address information.
Participating Organization
Click on the Choices button to drag and drop names of organizations that would have hardware or software in this location. For instance, for an NBC location that hosts equipment for other organizations, you would list those organizations here. The buttons in the Participating Organizations box are standard buttons, used similarly in many windows in DEAR.
OK
Click "OK" when you are done with all the tabs.
