Why are Location Addresses Important?

Location Address is very important to make sure that scheduled articles are delivered at the correct time. If the location is not correctly added in the system, staff will receive notification for scheduled news at 09:00 UK time.

How  to add an address to an existing Location?

1. Go to Admin 
2. Select "Location Hierarchy"
3. For the location that need to be edited, click on "Actions"
4. Click on "Edit" 
5.  Scroll down to “Address”
6. Add the needed information
7. Click “Update” to save the changes.

How to Create a New Location

To create a new location within this structure, follow these steps:

1. Click “Create new”

   You will find the “Create new” option to start adding a location.

2. Name:

   Enter a unique name for the location. This could be the name of a specific store, area, or region, depending on what you’re creating.

3. Location Type:

   Choose the location type, such as Area, Store, etc. This helps determine the level of the hierarchy for this location, and will affect its relationship to other locations in your setup.

4. Parent Location:

   This is where you decide the placement of the location within the hierarchy. For instance, a Store might fall under an Area. By selecting the appropriate parent location, you ensure that the new location is properly aligned with the existing hierarchy.

5. Address:

   This field determines the physical area or region of the world where the location belongs. It's particularly important for ensuring correct timing for scheduled articles and other location-specific activities.

6. Location Members:

   If needed, you can quickly assign members to this location. This allows you to manage users and assign permissions easily, depending on which location they belong to.
