For companies that subscribe to Update Filtering

Texas811 captures when an excavator says they are

requesting an update to extend the life of a ticket. but

they do not need the lines to be remarked. This gives

the member the option of not going back to the worksite ;

when the excavator says the lines are still visible and

saving the associated locating expenses. The center

sends excavators an email for all nut-ifieatiuns cleared
