How to add information for a new location

1.       Select the Region to associate with this location. If you do not see an expected region, you may first need to create that region in the Region wizard (on the New menu, click Region).

2.       Type a new name for the location. This value is required for new locations.

In a Platform where Delegated Administration is enabled, the names of locations may contain a prefix. For details, refer to Names of Objects in DA Units.

3.       Type a new address for the location; for example, a street address, apartment, or suite number. Address Line 1 of the address is required; Address Line 2 is optional.

4.       Type the name of the city for this location. This value is required.

5.       Type the state, ZIP code, and country for this location. The country field allows up to 100 characters.

6.       Optionally, enter a language to be associated with this location. Note that only one language can be associated with each location, and the language field allows up to 100 characters. If the language for this location is overridden via the Axeda Platform SDK, then all assets that use this location will also inherit the language override, and that language will displayed instead when viewing asset properties in the Axeda Applications.

7.       To save the information and create the location, click Create (Create new location page) or Submit (Enter a new location page). To discard the information and return to the previous page, click Cancel.
