Add a Location

Create locations to assign to projects, resources, or risks so that you can report, search, and filter by location.

To create a location:

  1. Navigate to the Locations dictionary page
  2. On the Locations page, select Add.
  3. In the Add Location dialog box:
    1. In the Name field, enter a name for the new location.
    2. In the ID field, enter a unique identifier for the location.
    3. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description of the location
    4. Enter the street address, or enter the Latitude and Longitude.

      Note

      • Input longitude and latitude in the format that is appropriate for your geolocation service. Enter longitude and latitude in decimal degrees or directional designators.
      • The State / Province and Country results autopopulate based on other information that you enter. Select the correct option from the lists to refine.
    5. Select Locate.
    6. Select Add.
  4. Select Save.

Tip

  • You can also import locations from a worksheet. Select Import "", and then select Download Import Template to generate a template to help you format the data correctly.
  • Locations can be created on the Details Summary & Settings page for a project, on the Resource List page for a resource, or in the project or program Risk Register for a risk. By default, the locations created for a project, resource, or risk are stored with the object, but you can optionally save the location to the Locations dictionary for future use.
