Adding a Location to the Network Hierarchy

Locations are nested beneath the tenant in the network hierarchy listed on the Network > Network Hierarchy screen.

To add a location to the Network Hierarchy

1. Navigate to Network > Network Hierarchy.

   When you hover over various items on the screen, choices such as Add (a plus + sign) and Edit/Config (a pencil) become visible.

2. Hover over an existing location and click the Plus (+) icon to add a new location on the Add Location screen. A prompt near the Plus (+) asks if this is to be a:
   • sibling location: added on the same level as the location you clicked on to add it
   • child location: added below the location from which it is built. A new child location cannot be added to a location that already has a Zone.
   • zone under this location: nested beneath (inside) the location from which it is built

   Your choice is then reflected in the structure of the hierarchy.

3. Enter the Location Name and Address.
4. Click OK.

The new location is added to the Network Hierarchy.

After the location has been configured, add the geographical addresses of the location (for example, US > California > Milpitas) by hovering over the name of the location and clicking on the map pinpoint icon in the pop up menu. The pop up menu asks you to specify the Name of the location and supply a street address.

The location is then displayed on the world map and when selecting the location name, displays a panel on the right showing the address of the location. You can also upload the floor-plans with heat maps if available, using the add floor-plans icon in the panel.
