Adding Units and Spans

Adding Units/Spans with a "dynamic" Location Type

Location Types within Orbitas are separated into Dynamic and Static. A Dynamic location type will open a set up menu driven selections after saving, while a Static location type will return you to the main map after saving.
‍

Units and Spans are configuration based. If you have a configuration with Units and Spans, you will have a specifically named location type that is considered "dynamic". This location type will open the Units/Spans form upon saving the current location. One common example of these Location Types is called a PartnerUnit. This location type when saved will directly open the Add Units/Spans form.
