If the keyed Ecosite is different from the assigned/correlated Ecosite, a component text note should be created.

The following is an example of the procedure to follow in NASIS. In this example, a component text note is created for a component in MLRA 43B, LRU A with a keyed ESD of Sandy Argillic that has been correlated to a Sandy ESD in MLRA 43B and LRU A.

1. In NASIS, select View → Components → Component Text

2. In the component text table, press “F8” to insert a new row.
3. In the new row, enter Date – “ / / ”; Author – “your name” (no initials); Kind – “miscellaneous notes”; Category – “Keyed ESD”; Subcategory – Keyed Ecological Site ID, ex. “R044BA115MT”; and Text – “Keyed: SyA, Ver. 7.2”.

Note: Ver. 7.2 refers to the Ecosite Key Version. Enter the appropriate version.

The Ecosite code is connotative and reflects MLRA, LRU, Ecosite, and State. Below is an example of an Ecosite ID.
