What Is Location Heirarchy For Managing Locations And Sub-Locations

Understanding location hierarchy is crucial as it allows you to navigate and utilize the system effectively. As the name suggests, it's a structure of locations and sub-locations linked together in a parent-child relationship. For instance, a commercial building has multiple floors, and each floor has various cabins, conference rooms, and workspaces.

For such case, the commercial building is a location, and floors could be sub-locations. Similarly, each floor will function as a parent location and all the cabins, conference rooms, etc. will work as this floor’s sub-locations. These sub-locations will be sub-sub locations for the commercial building.

It will form the following kind of hierarchy-

Commercial Building(Location)

  • Floor 1(Sub-location)
    • Conference room(Sub-sub-location)

To access the location hierarchy for any location, follow these steps-

  1. From the main menu, hover on ‘Customers’
  2. Click ‘Locations’ from the dropdown menu
  3. In the location list screen, turn on the hierarchy view with ‘Display Customer Location Hierarchy’   
  4. Now, click on any location from the list. The new page will have the following location menu 

  1. To check assets on sub-location at this location, then click ‘Location hierarchy’ from this menu. This will show all the sub-locations at this location.
  2. You may also check all the assets at each sub-location if you click ‘Show Assets’ from below the menu
  3. With that, you will see all the sub-locations and assets linked to each sub-location
