Locations and roles
Put areas inside a location
Add a kitchen, a ward or a floor as a sub-location of a main location.
A sub-location is an area of one place, such as Kitchen inside Main store. It has its own schedule and people, and the managers of the main location also cover it.
Steps
- Open Locations and choose Add sub-location on the main location. (Add location works too: then choose the main location under Inside another location.)
- Enter the Name of the area, for example Kitchen.
- Check Inside another location shows the main location.
- Give it its own pin and radius if the area is somewhere you want checked separately, or leave the pin off.
- Choose Add location. It is listed under the main location, marked Inside followed by its name.
To turn it back into a place of its own, choose Edit and set Inside another location to No, it stands on its own. Saving never moves people between locations.

Who has it: People with the Locations permission. If it is not in your menu, your role does not include it.
Open Locations Opens the app. You may be asked to sign in first.
If something goes wrong
- There is no Inside another location box.
- You need at least one other location first, and a location that already has areas inside it cannot go inside another.
- A manager cannot see the area's people.
- Their role must cover Their locations or Everyone, and one of the person's locations must be the main location or the area.
