By adding a new client on the map, you must inform the pole where the client is connected and/or the box used to attend. If the client is not connected to a box, then it can not be connected to the network.
If it ain’t no client documentation yet, you can design the drop path from the client to the box. On the creation tab, click on “Draw Drop” and draw the path by clicking the poles until you get in the box.
The client tab contains the following information:
Client’s details:
Name: Full name of the client, important for the identification and visualization.
Code: A code for individual identification of the client. It is recommended the use of the same code that identifies the client at other systems (ERP, for example) for potential integrations
Status: It's a sign to show if the client is working properly or if it's having problems. It is used on the Problems layer. It will present the color green (OK status) or red (ERROR status).
Tags: You can add tags to your clients, so you can identify them pointing to any characteristics.
ONU: ONU property data.
Network details:
Box: Allows access to the box, and enables box editing or the removal of a connection to any specific box.
Pole: Allows access to the pole, and enables pole editing where the client is connected.
Drop: Information regarding the drop for this client.
Port:: List ports (with free/occupied status) of the selected splitter. By adding a new client, the system will automatically suggest the first unoccupied port.
Active: Client information on the POP.
Read Power: The actual power reaching the location.
Calculated power: A power calculation generated by the system using the given power information provided by the user for each one of the equipment between the client and POP.
Connection: Indicates the element of the box to which this property is connected.
Implanted: Indicates whether the client is physically installed or awaiting installation.
Certified: Indicates whether the client has undergone a verification process and is confirmed as operational.
Observações: A free-text field for observations and additional notes.
Building details:
Tags: You can add tags to your properties to identify them based on specific characteristics.
Address: property address.
Latitude and longitude: Geographical coordinates indicating the location of your property.
Observations: A free-text field for additional observations.
To remove a client, simply right-click on the client and select "Remove."
It's also possible to relocate a client by right-clicking on them. After clicking on "Move," select the new point on the map.
When adding a new client, OZmap checks for a documented path from the selected splitter to a PON port at a Central Office. If none is found, a warning is displayed, but the client addition is still allowed.
Hovering over a client will display not only its code but also the drop path to the serving box.
Hovering over the box serving clients will display all drops connected to that box.
You can also change the box to which your client is connected by right-clicking on the client, selecting "Change box," and then clicking on the new box. This will automatically redraw the drop.
Client representation at the Box Editor
Clients are represented as small rectangles with a connection point, linked to the corresponding equipment. If the rectangle is dotted, it indicates that the client is marked as "Not Implanted." In cases where a checkmark symbol is present, as seen with client 8370, it means that the client has the status of "Implanted and Certified."
An important detail for documentation is that its textual identification can be chosen in the system settings. It is possible to select whether the client will be identified within the box editor by their name, code, or the name of the drop cable used.

Adding archives
It is also possible to add image, audio, video, text archive, CSV, and zip archive files to your properties, you just need to access the side icon and click on “New post”. Its worth reminding yourself that the posts are attached to the properties, and therefore by removing a client from its interior the archives will remain registered.

Client Relocation by Address
You can also reposition the client based on their address.
To do this, you must open the "Property editing" section and click on the icon next to the "Address" field under "Search for latitude and longitude using address." This will update the coordinates according to the address.
Then, on the map, it will be possible to preview with the old position in green and the new position in blue. To confirm, simply click on "Save."
It is also possible to relocate clients by area. In other words, you choose the area and the clients whose coordinates you want to change according to the address, and they will be relocated in bulk. To do this, you need to have an API Key registered in the system. For more information, please contact our support.
To proceed, you must generate an area report, and in the client tab select those you wish to relocate, as shown in the image below.
Next, a new window will open where you will specify the maximum distance that can exist between the current position and the position returned by the address. This helps avoid cases where the address might be ambiguous, leading to the position being in another state or country, for example.
If you haven't already provided one, the system will prompt you to enter a Google API key. Subsequently, it will utilize this key to fetch the address on the map and position the client at the coordinates returned by Google. To learn how to generate an API key, click here or get in touch with our support.
To add the API key to your OZmap, click on "system" in settings, the left-hand side menu, and on "Google API Key," insert the key, as shown in the image below:
Você também consegue selecionar a opção de "Atribuir poste mais próximo após a locação", onde o drop do seu cliente será ligado ao poste mais próximo após a alocação. Se você selecionar essa opção, deverá preencher o campo "Distância máxima para a busca de poste", que é a distância limite para o sistema buscar por postes ao redor do cliente.
Por fim, é só clicar em confirmar.
You can also choose the "Assign Nearest Utility Pole after Allocation" option, wherein your client's drop will be linked to the nearest utility pole after allocation. If you select this option, you need to fill in the "Maximum Distance for Pole Search" field, which sets the limit for the system to search for utility poles around the client. Finally, click on "confirm" to complete the process.
Installation Sketch
For a client, it is possible to display the installation sketch both graphically (with a map indicating utility poles and information about the box) and textually.
You can export the complete path from the client to the Central Office.
Properties
Properties are structures where clients can be added. They indicate that there is an installed structure or that there was one in the past, but currently, there is no client installed at that location. This property can be retained with the drop, but if not, it will be documented. In any case, you can add clients to it in the future. They are represented on the map by the same symbol as clients but in blue.
Poles
It is possible to manually edit the drop of your client/property or choose a path that passes through the nearest pole.
There are two possibilities for this action.
You can perform this by right-clicking on the client/property, selecting the option "Change Pole," and then choosing either "Select Pole" or "Nearest Pole."
The other option is to click with the left mouse button on the client or property, and under "Network Details," you'll find the "Pole" option. There, you click on "Switch," and then you can choose whether to change the pole manually or let the system connect to the nearest pole.
In the case of manually selecting the desired pole, simply click on the pole you want and then save.
If you choose to connect automatically to the nearest pole, a new window will appear asking for the distance, in meters, that the system should search for poles. If there are poles within this area, it will connect your drop to the nearest one.
Then, your drop will be connected to the nearest pole.
The process of connecting to the nearest pole can also be done on a large scale. To do this, generate an area for report and in the clients or properties tab, select the items you want to be connected to the nearest pole.
At the bottom of the report, there is a "tools" option. There, you will find the "Assign Nearest Pole" option. The system will also prompt you for the maximum distance to search for utility poles.
