Location Register
In order to ease both Asset tracking and Call Logging, Concept Evolution allows every Location (i.e. Room, corridor, storage cupboard, etc.) to be defined. Locations can be created to a Building either in the Building Register window, or through the Location Register. If a Location is defined from within the Building Register, the Building field for the new Location is automatically completed on creation.
The list of Locations are maintained here.
Facilities > Property and Estates > Location Register
The link will open the Location Register grid. It is a grid view which can be searched, sorted and customised as normal.
To add a new Location click New , to edit and existing Location click Edit . A pop up window will appear which will allow the creation or amendment of a Location.
