Sustainability & Risk / Hazardous Materials / Background Data - Hazmat

Define Companies

Use the Sustainability & Risk / Hazardous Materials / Background Data - Hazmat / Define Companies task to add, edit, and delete definitions for the following types of companies:

Tracking company information is important for contacting the provider to get updated SDS information.

After you enter companies, you can run the Background Data / Companies List report.

Note: Company information is used by many Archibus domains, and is not categorized in any way to identify the domain that uses or creates the company record. Consequently, you may find company data already present from other Archibus applications. If you wish to segregate companies related to SDSs, you might add a prefix to the company name such as SDS_ACME_CO.

Filtering the Data

When the view is first presented, it lists all companies in the system. A Smart Search console in the grid enables you to filter or sort data on any of the displayed columns. For example, you might want to filter on companies where the Emergency Phone field is not null (use the % wild card) because manufacturers associated with SDSs must have an emergency phone number stored in the record. See Restricting Data Using Smart Search.
