# Managing E911 Providers

E911 providers supply the police, fire, and medical provider information required to support the emergency 9-1-1 service. The E911 Providers table lists all E911 providers currently defined in the system. It populates the E911 Provider drop-down list in the Add MSAG Provider and Edit MSAG Provider windows (see [MSAG Providers](/v1/docs/managing-msag-providers)). It is also used in the E911 Batch Search window and the E911 File Generation wizard.

To set up and maintain the E911 Provider table:

- Under **Data Management** double-click **E911 Providers**. This displays the E911 Providers window.

The E911 Providers window provides the following information:

| E911 Provider ID | System-generated identifier that uniquely identifies the E911 Provider. |
| --- | --- |
| Description | E911 Provider's name/description. |
| File Format | Format this E911 Provider requires when receiving information for the Automatic Location Information database. |

The shortcut menu for this table lets you add, edit and delete E911 providers. See [Working with Data Management Tables](/v1/docs/working-with-data-management-tables).
