🏗️ Structuring Your Organization with Atobi's Location Hierarchy

Effectively managing your organization's structure is crucial for seamless operations and targeted communication. Atobi's Location Hierarchy feature allows you to organize your company into a clear, multi-level framework, ensuring that content reaches the right audience at the right time

🗺️ Understanding Location Types and Hierarchy

Atobi's hierarchy is designed to mirror your organization's geographical and operational structure, comprising four primary levels:

Region
Country
Area
Store

This structured approach facilitates precise content delivery and efficient audience management.

📍 Why are Location Addresses Important?

Accurate Location Addresses are vital to ensure that scheduled articles are delivered at the correct local time. If a location's address isn't properly configured, staff may receive notifications at unintended times, such as 09:00 UK time, regardless of their actual time zone.

How to add an address to an existing Location?

Navigate to Admin > Location Hierarchy.
Locate the desired location and click on "Actions" > "Edit".
Scroll down to the “Address” section.
Enter the necessary address details.
Click “Update” to save the changes.

Note: "Region" types do not require an address, as they represent groups of countries (e.g., "Latin America").

🏗️ How to Create a New Location

To add a new location within your hierarchy, follow these steps:

Click “Create new” in the Location Hierarchy section.
Name: Enter a unique name for the location (e.g., specific store, area, or region).
Location Type: Select the appropriate type (Region, Country, Area, Store, or Custom).
Parent Location: Assign the location under its parent (e.g., a Store under an Area).
Address: Provide the full address, including country, city, postal code, and timezone.
Location Members: Assign members to this location as needed.

By following these steps, you can create new locations that seamlessly fit into the Atobi system, making it easier to organize and manage your content across different geographical regions.

🛠️ Custom Made Location Types

If your organizational structure requires additional location types beyond the default options, Atobi allows for customization.

How to Create a Custom Location Type:

Navigate to Admin > Location Hierarchy.
Click “Create new”.
Name: Enter the custom location's name.
Location Type: Select "Custom Made Location".
Store Category: Choose if applicable.
Parent Location: Assign under the appropriate parent.
Address: Fill in the necessary details.
Click “Create” to add the custom location.

How to Edit a Custom Location:

Navigate to Admin > Location Hierarchy.
Find the custom location and click on "Actions" > "Edit".
Update the necessary details, especially in the “Address” section.
Click “Update” to save changes.

Customizing location types ensures that Atobi aligns perfectly with your organization's unique structure.
