Location - Main Information

The Location page contains basic location information. Open Main Menu > Registration > Location to maintain this information.

Description of Page

Basic information about the Location and the location's unique identifier (i.e., the Location ID) are displayed on every page. These values only appear after the location exists on the database. The ID is a system assigned random number that stays with a location for life.

Enter a Location Type to categorize the type of location.

The address's constituent fields vary based on the Country. Please refer to the Country page for more information.

Note:

Default note. A location's state, city, county, division, characteristics and geographic data default from your postal default information. If you change the location's postal code, the system will default geographic values based on the new postal code.

Use Division to define the jurisdiction in which the location is located. This defaults based on the Country and the Postal Code, but can be overridden here.

Indicate whether the address is a valid Mailing Address. Locations that are valid mailing addresses may be specified as the mailing location on an account. Refer to Account - Person Information for more information.

You may reference a Parent Location to include this location in a location hierarchy.

At the bottom of this page is a tree that shows the various objects linked to the location. You can use this tree to both view high-level information about these objects and to transfer to the respective page in which an object is maintained.
