Using this option you can change the spatial location of documents, folders, and projects in a single operation, according to the spatial location source and processing options you select here.
Spatial Location Source options:
Option Description None The spatial location source of every selected ProjectWise object will be set to None. Those documents, folders, and projects will not have a spatial location. Parent folder The spatial location source of every selected ProjectWise object will be set to Parent folder. Those documents, folders, and projects will inherit their parent folder's spatial location. New location Opens the Define new location dialog in which you can manually draw the spatial location to be assigned to every selected document, folder, and project. Existing document location Opens the Select spatial document dialog from which you can select a ProjectWise document that already has a spatial location. This spatial location will be assigned to documents, folders, and projects scanned during this process. Existing folder location Opens the Select spatial folder dialog from which you can select a ProjectWise folder that already has a spatial location. This spatial location will be assigned to documents, folders, and projects scanned during this process. Use attribute lookup table For this option to be available, a spatial location attribute mapping must exist in your datasource. For more information, see "Creating Spatial Location Attribute Mapping" in the ProjectWise Geospatial Administrator help. Processing options:

Skip items whose spatial location is a custom spatial location Folders and documents with a custom spatial location will not be processed.
