Locations

A location is a place where assets are operated, stored, or repaired. You can use the Places page in the Manage Assets Work Center to view, add, or edit information about locations, service addresses, or systems.

Using systems of locations and specifying the location for assets on asset records provides the groundwork for gathering and tracking valuable information about assets, including the history of the asset's movement from location to location and asset performance at specific sites.

After you enter initial details about a location, essential information about the location is displayed on a card on the Places page. When you select a card, you can use the following tabs to add, change, or view information about the location.
