With the few configuration options on the Locations dashboard it may not look like much is going on here, however, the locations dashboard is an important piece of all your events and mapping out and creating appropriate locations can be crucial for the content items these are tied to.

To access this dashboard, from the drop down at the top right of the page, go to profile menu > Dashboard >the Locations dashboard is near the bottom on the left.

Here you manage existing locations as well as create new locations. Adding a new location is done by clicking the Add Locations button.

An Add New Location menu prompts you to populate fields, some of which are mandatory as indicated by an asterisk, with other optional fields not necessary to fill out.

Selecting the closest appropriate Timezone is recommended as this shows up in the events and event types (soon to be called event series) you link to these locations.

Please be aware that you are able to type any free text with no character limitations into the Name field matched with any timezone, which may not be accurate with, for example if Arizona USA is specified as the name but paired with a non correct, i.e., US timezone for example.

Once your new location is set either click Save to add it to the list of locations the planform recognizes and allows adding from within creating or editing your event types and events, or click back in your browser to cancel.

To edit a location select the 3 dots on the far right of the existing location and click Edit.

Selecting a location then clicking Export CSV produces a report on all the selected locations with the number of any events and event types they may be paired to.

From the Actions drop down an option to Delete All Selected is presented which cannot be un-deleted once done.
