Locations

Locations view allows to create, edit and delete location options. Location can be for example building, room, or more specific area on a shelf. 

Location overview shows a tree structure in the nested format where you can see locations and sub-locations or as a list format where you can see more detailed information. Only admin users can manage and create locations. If you require a new location and do not have admin permissions, you will need to contact one within your organisation.
