Locations

A location groups storages by physical place: a building, a floor, a site, a vehicle. It’s optional — add one once storage names alone stop being enough to tell them apart. Two rooms in different locations can each have a “Shelf A” without conflict.

Adding a location

Create a new location from the locations list and fill in the following.

Field	Details
Name	Required. Up to 100 characters.
Address	Optional. Up to 500 characters.
Map pin	Optional. Set a latitude and longitude to open the place in a map app.

An address and pin let you answer “where is Vehicle 2?” from your phone.

For the idea of managing your company’s equipment and assets as a ledger, see the article What is property inventory management?.

Assigning storages

Choose which storages belong to a location with Set storages on its details page. Storages in this location lists the ones already assigned.

You can add photos to a location too. A photo of the building’s exterior or entrance helps a member visiting for the first time.

Editing and deleting

Change the name, address, and pin on the location’s details page.

Deleting a location doesn’t delete its storages or their stock. They remain unassigned and can be reassigned to another location. A location is a label attached to a group of storages, and removing the label never loses the stock.
