Introduction

A location is a physical address that can have devices associated with it. You can assign it coordinates and if there are devices assigned, the location will appear on the Map in Open-AudIT Enterprise.

How Does it Work?

Locations are used to assign devices to and will appear on the map in Open-AudIT Enterprise if they have any devices.

Creating a Location

To make another location go to menu: Manage -> Locations -> Create Location.

Go to menu: Manage -> Locations -> List Locations.
