How Do I Assign a Location to a Company?
You can assign a location to a company when you are creating a new company. You also have the option to assign locations to an existing company using the 'Companies' module and the 'Locations' module.
To assign an existing location to a new company:
- On the left menu, click Companies.
- Click New Company.
- Enter the name, abbreviation, contact name, email, address and phone number into the text box.
- Select Departments, Locations, Countries and regions from the dropdown options (you can select multiple).
- Click Save & Submit.
- A field with a red asterisk beside it means it is required and you will not be able to complete your work without filling in these fields.
- A field without a red asterisk beside it means the field is not required, although it may be helpful to fill these out to complete your work.
This is required before you can add company:
- Set up Locations.
- If you are missing the location you would like to add you can create it using the link below the 'Locations' field in the company setup screen: 'You can add more locations from here'.
