Create a location

Updated this week

Entering new location data happens in the Create Location screen.

Basic Info

  • Status

    The location status: Active or Inactive.

    Inactive locations are marked in grey.

  • Code (Required)

    Enter an alphanumeric identifier for the location.

    If not provided, the system generates sequential numbering by default.

  • Name (Required)

    Enter a name to easily identify the location.

  • Address Line1

    Enter the location’s address.

    This field, together with Town/City, State/Province, ZIP, and Country, is used to determine the location on the map.

  • Address Line2

    Additional address information (optional).

  • Town/City

  • State/Province

  • ZIP/Postal Code

  • Country

When creating a new location, the system copies the values of these last four fields from the previously created location and pre-fills them.

This helps avoid re-entering the same data when adding multiple locations in the same area.
