Whether your location has a formal street address or is a rural location, you can define a location's address and position in a few different ways.

Inputting the Street Address

If your location has a street address, you can type in the street address and click on the correct suggested address. This will automatically populate the position latitude and longitude fields

Manually Inputting the Latitude & Longitude

You can also manually input the latitude and longitude directly. If you don't have the latitude and longitude, here is a quick tip for finding them

  • Pull up the location area on google maps

  • Right click the area where you want to center your location

  • Click on the latitude and longitude value (this will copy it to your clipboard

  • Paste and edit the values into the latitude and longitude fields in the UI

Placing the Location on the Map

If your location doesn't have a street address, you can give it a position by manually placing it on the map. To do this, create your location without inputting an address or position. Then, on the Company -> Location page, follow these steps:

  • Click once on the row of the newly created location to highlight it

  • Right-click on the place on the map where you want to position the location

  • Click on "Move Location to Here"

  • Continue to repeat the above 2 steps until you're satisfied with the location position

This can also be used to reposition the location after using the above 2 methods to get an initial latitude and longitude from the Location Overview screen:

  • Click once on the existing location icon to highlight it

  • Right-click on the place on the map where you want to position the location

  • Click on "Move Location to Here"

  • Continue to repeat the above 2 steps until you're satisfied with the location position
