Manage Terminal Types

Terminal Type contains the description of the specific terminal. Some examples of terminal types are manhole, closet, post, etc. (Note: The terminal types must first be determined and added before adding any terminal records.)

  1. Click the Facilities
  2. In the Navigation pane, click Buildings.
  3. There are two ways to manage your terminal types:
    • Within the toolbar directly above the Navigation pane, click the Manage Terminal Types button
    • Within the Actions pane, click the Manage Terminal Types
  1. With either option, the Manage Building Types window opens.

! If you are unable to view the Actions pane, you may need to use the scroll bar to reveal the menu choices on the right side of the Navigation pane, or using your mouse point at the Separation bar, and when the up/down arrow displays, right-click the line and hold it to pull the line down.
