NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Best Practices for Customizing EQuIS Review subject matter documentation Interview system users Review field data collection forms Define requirements

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Best Practices for Customizing EQuIS Use staff knowledgeable in the EQuIS database schema Prepare entity relationship diagrams and object models to reflect current and proposed database structure Work with EarthSoft to implement database changes

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Database and EDD Changes New tables replaced existing building and task parameter tables to meet these needs –Buildings can have multiple inspections on different dates –Parameter codes are associated with buildings (subfacilities) –Subfacilities can contain many buildings –An outdoor sample can be assigned to multiple buildings

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation One outdoor sample for more than one building.
