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.
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 the location name (e.g., "Berlin Facility").
Address: Provide the full address.
City, State, Country: Select the appropriate location details.
Latitude & Longitude (Optional): Specify coordinates for mapping features.
Location Type: Choose from options like Office, Warehouse, or Distribution Center.
Image (Optional): Upload an image for visual identification. If omitted, a map view will be displayed
Additional Fields: Fill in custom fields as needed.
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.
The new location will appear in the Locations list.
Use the Quick Find search bar to locate specific entries.
Click the three-dot menu next to a location for options such as editing or deleting.
At the time of location addition, admins can also elect to create an associated location group.
Define Group Details
Enter a Group Name (e.g., "North America Offices").
Select locations to include in the group.
Click Save to create the group.
Newly created groups will appear in the Groups section.
Edit or remove locations from the group as needed.
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.
Group Strategically: Organize locations by geography, department, or function.
Keep Details Updated: Regularly review and update location information.
Use Quick Find: Quickly locate specific locations in large lists.
