ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for collecting, maintaining and tracking data for facilities-related information. Data on a variety of remote, stand-alone, and networked facilities is collected and stored with reference to the physical locations of the facilities. Using the physical locations of facilities and any connecting circuits between interrelated and networked facilities, the data is presented to a user of the data through graphical user interfaces and through a mapping program that presents a map of a region in which the user operates, showing facilities under the user's charge in their respective locations on the map. The user may zoom in to the location of a selected facility to obtain a detailed view and detailed information on that facility, including information on connections between facilities. New facilities may be entered and existing facilities may be edited using a graphical user interface, and once the facilities information is entered or edited, the computer-generated map is refreshed to show the changes. Routes of circuits between related facilities are shown and filtering of the views may be accomplished to show only certain components of facilities on the map.
