Re: [AFMUG] Site Database Management
Right now I am currently setting up Redmine for this. I am the primary tower hand and have lots of information about our sites from the past 8 years that I think would be useful to everyone. I honestly do not know if this is the proper tool for the job, but it has specific options I am looking for. For example: Documents (tower agreements, POCs etc.), a Wiki (to add information about equipment on tower and add important information specific to the site) and Files (for photo upload) are all things I am looking for that Redmine supports. There are some things that need to be changed or added such as email notifications and issue tracking. All the changes I have made are rather simple. I can't speak for iOS, but there are some decent third party apps for Android out there that also make it easy to do this from the field when a data connection is not available. I won't say it is the perfect option, but it works for me and the other hands that work these sites regularly.

+1 We added a tag field to issues in Jira for the POP name and tag all POPs affected by the issue. We have a page in Confluence for each POP with site info, image gallery, access info, etc with a dynamic search for the POP tag so any issues affecting/involving the POP show up. We outgrew the 10 users for $10 license and are now paying ye olde enterprise rates and it's still so very worth it.

Re: [AFMUG] Site Database Management
Take a look at these two, while they are not exactly site management, they have all the fields and the ability to keep the info u need. Net-dot. .

I am the primary tower hand and have lots of information about our sites from the past 8 years that I think would be useful to everyone. I honestly do not know if this is the proper tool for the job, but it has specific options I am looking for. For example: Documents (tower agreements, POCs etc.), a Wiki (to add information about equipment on tower and add important information specific to the site) and Files (for photo upload) are all things I am looking for that Redmine supports. There are some things that need to be changed or added such as email notifications and issue tracking. All the changes I have made are rather simple. I can't speak for iOS, but there are some decent third party apps for Android out there that also make it easy to do this from the field when a data connection is not available. I won't say it is the perfect option, but it works for me and the other hands that work these sites regularly.Vince WestTower Hand Technical SupportShelby Broadband148 Citizens BlvdSimpsonville, KY 40067Phone: 1-888-364-4232 On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 11:40 PM, Cameron Crum cc...@wispmon.com wrote: Wispmon does this as I'm sure most of the management platforms do.

Same goes with accessing and updating details about things like: access to a site, contact numbers, GPS coordinates, list of equipment, IP addresses, WiFi passwords, Power Meter Number, custom notes, etc. Of course the above could be a big text box that gets changed, but then people will forget things to add. I’d prefer nice fields that you can populate.. When there’s data in them you can click the phone number to call, click the GPS coordinates to pull up maps, etc. Plus I want it to look pretty and be usable by someone rolling up with a phone and who happened to forget the gate code. Any suggestions? -c
