Adding and managing locations

Locations are the physical sites where equipment lives — an office, a school gym, a warehouse, a vehicle depot. Almost everything else in the portal hangs off a location, so they are the right place to start.

Adding a location#

1. Open Locations and choose Add location.
2. Give it a name people recognize ("Main Office — 2nd Floor"), the address, and any notes (door codes belong in notes, not names).
3. Save — the location is immediately available when adding equipment and responders.

Managing over time#

• Each row shows its equipment count; open a location to see its equipment and the responders based there.
• Deactivate a site you are not currently operating — it stops appearing in day-to-day pickers but keeps its history. Reactivate any time.
• Trash is deliberately blocked while equipment is still assigned — move or remove the equipment first, so nothing is orphaned. Trashed locations sit under "Show trashed" and can be restored.
• Search by name or city, and filter by status, when the list grows.

Note: Team members restricted to specific locations only ever see those locations' records — the restriction is set per user on the Team page, not here.
