Adding an Office Location

Overview

Administrators can create individual locations and associated location groups for easy management of multiple locations. By maintaining accurate location groups, companies can restrict access to sensitive resources based on geographic or network-based criteria, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, up-to-date location data ensures that security policies are properly enforced and makes it easier to audit and demonstrate compliance with data protection and industry standards.

Adding a New Location

To get started, click the Add Locations button in the upper-right corner of the Locations menu.

In the pop-up form, fill in the required details:

• Name: Enter a unique location name

• Address: Provide the full address for the location

• Image (Optional): Upload an image for visual identification of the location. If omitted, a map icon will be displayed.

• Additional Fields: Fill in custom fields as needed. These fields can be configured from the Location Fields tab.

• Click Save to finalize the new location.

To designate a location as a headquarter, check Mark this location as Our Headquarter. Customize the headquarter label in Admin Portal > Domain > Locations > General Settings.

Creating a Location Group

At the time of location addition, admins can also elect to create an associated location group. This associated group can be added later by clicking the Create Groups button.

Newly created groups will appear in the Groups module where they can be edited or removed as needed.

Best Practices for Location Management

To optimize location organization, follow these best practices:

Use Descriptive Names: Clearly define location names (e.g., "Berlin Office" instead of just "Berlin").

Include Images: Enhances visual identification for easier navigation.

Keep Details Updated: Regularly review and update location information.
