Hi Renee,
When NPG did a complete renovation of our building in 2000-2006, we basically just started over. We renamed our NPG location as “Former NPG” and added a new location for the new NPG. We made all the Former NPG locations inactive. This would
probably only make sense for a complete building reno like ours.
Good luck!

Subject: Location Numbering
Good Morning TMS Users,
We are beginning to thinking about how location areas are numbered due to a construction project. Are blueprint numbers incorporated as part of the location name? How are previous blueprint
numbers tracked? Has anyone encountered renumbering entire floors? All ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!
Renee
