Automated Location Code Assignment

ESdat allows organisations to systematically manage naming of additional sampling Locations.   

Location Codes can be automatically generated using the Site Prefix (if applicable), Monitoring Zone Prefix (if applicable) and Location Type (eg. BH, MW, SW etc..)  The number of integers to use in the Location Code can also be specified (ie BH1 vs BH01 vs BH001).   This will help you maintain consistent naming conventions and making sure all location IDs are named uniquely.

This information is entered at the Site level.

And the Monitoring Zone Level.

When creating a new Location the "Autogenerate Location Code" button can be used to generate the next Location number for Locations of the same Site / Monitoring Zone / Location Type.
