Locations
The Locations feature helps you organize different areas within a site, making it easier to manage assets and monitor equipment at a more granular level. Each location belongs to a specific site and represents a physical area where devices or assets are installed.
Typical use cases include:
- Office rooms
- Factory floors
- Production departments
- Warehouses
- Utility rooms
- Building sections
By assigning assets to locations, you can improve organization, simplify monitoring, and quickly identify where equipment is installed.
