If you do not link a profile and layer with a preference, users can manually define GIS features by clicking Create GIS Feature when defining new EAM equipment.
HxGN EAM displays the Create GIS Feature window where users will specify the Layer, Location X, and Location Y for the creation of the GIS feature. After users submit the information, a GIS ID number is generated.
