Managing Locations

Managing Locations

Overview

Field2Base Users with the Mobile Forms Administrator role can manage Locations for their Company from the Portal. Location details can then be used in Forms (only available in 7.0 and higher) instead of using Form Data Files to store location data. To access your Company's Locations, navigate to Admin > Locations. 
Note: Locations are an additional feature that can be enabled on a per company basis. Please contact our Technical Support team if you have questions or would like to enable Locations for your account. 



Viewing Locations

You can view all current locations for your company on the Locations page. Locations displayed can be filtered by Location Name, Location Type, Contact Name, Contact Email and Default Group.


You can download an Excel or CSV file of your filtered Locations by clicking on the corresponding button.

Creating a Location

1. Click on the Create Location button on the Locations page.
Note: If you want to create multiple locations at a time, you can do a bulk import using a CSV file by clicking on the Import Location button.
