Configuring Location And Store

Owned by Enterprise IT
May 29, 2024

You can configure Asset Locations, Stores, and Floors. The Assets are always associated to a Location under which Stores and Floors are configured to track them or discover them.

Asset Locations

Asset Location is a placeholder that can be used to create hierarchical Locations list. You can create Regions at the root node followed by Countries > States > Cities > Campuses in a hierarchical way.

Stores

Store is a place where newly procured or deallocated Assets are stocked. Every campus needs to have at least one Asset Store.  When Assets are imported, aligning them to a Store is mandatory. The In-Store Assets are available for allocation.

Floors

Floor is a place where end users work or where the Assets are put to use. Every campus can have multiple Floors configured based on the Floor plan. Associating an Asset to a Floor is mandatory during the Asset Allocation process.

To add Location and Store:

  1. Select Asset > Configuration > Asset Masters > Location and Store.

  2. On the LOCATION AND STORE page, select the Tenant. You can see the Locations configured for the selected Tenant.
