Defining locations

You can create location names to organize reporting for assets. Locations are not required for Asset Management. After you define locations, you can set up reports to report only the assets in a specified location or sort assets by location. Location codes also allow you to include detailed location information on the standard Property Report (AM265).

Note: To run a property report, or to use bar coding to track assets in physical inventory, you must define locations.

Use the address fields to record more specific location information.

Define locations

  1. Access Locations (AM07.2).
  2. For each location, you can define an address, using the Address tab.

    These fields can be used for the Property Report (AM265):

    • State/Province

    • Country

  3. For each location, you can define communication information using the Communication tab.
  4. For each location, you can define the longitude, latitude, and altitude using the GEO Location tab.
  5. If you use the asset bar-coding feature, you can click the Detail button to open Location Detail (AM07.3).
