[Optional] - When a Bulk Import of Keys is completed in BoxLock Control, the Location must be assigned by adding values in Fieldwire. Those values are not used by the BoxLock Integration after the initial import. If there is a desire to keep these values updated, go back and update the “BL Location” and “BL Location BID” in BoxLock Control on the Isolation Point manually on the key task in Fieldwire.
