Setting Up the Dealer Locator

Dealers are located based on the latitude and longitude specified in this section. Dealer locator needs to be set up before inventory search can work.

NOTE:  Only one location should be added for each dealer. If there are multiple locations for one dealer, the inventory search may not function properly, because a vehicle is tied to a dealer, not to a dealer location.

To add a dealer to the Dealer Locator

  1. From the application-level menu, open View > Site Map > Application Administration > Dealer Locator Administration.
  2. Click New.
  3. Complete the following fields as needed.
