| # Location Segment and Segment (tffam5100m000) Use this session to define the segment code, description, and segment default for each location segment. Each location segment has valid values, which you define, called segment codes. A location segment tracks a specific kind of information about an asset's physical location. Each location segment contains valid values called segment codes. When you enter assets in LN, you select a segment code for each segment in the location format. For example, for the location segment STATE, you can define segment codes using two characters for each state in which your organization maintains assets. When you enter an asset that is located in California, you select the segment code CA for the segment STATE. Each location segment has one default segment code, although you can define as many segment codes for each segment as needed. The first segment code you add is used as default. You can change the default by using the Sets Default Segment Code command of the Specific menu. Note You must define the location segment and code before it can be used in the Define Location Format (tffam5210m000) session.
