Using the Locations Tab

The Locations Tab lets you define the spatial structure of your building, such as Floors, Rooms, Corridors, and Stairwells. Locations help you organize equipment within physical spaces, making your data easier to navigate and understand.

📍 Create & Delete Locations

• Create: Use the Create Location button in the top menu to add a new location
• Delete: Select the location(s) you wish to remove and use the Delete button to remove them permanently

A few rules to keep in mind:

• Each location must have a Location Type: Corridor, Floor, Room, or Stairwell
• Each location must have a unique name within the building
• Location names cannot match the name of any published equipment

Once created, the location will appear below in the Locations table.

🔗 Modeling Locations

You can model a Contains relationship for each location. Contains is used to show that a location encapsulates a target entity, either another location or equipment.

Click expand on a location row to model it. There are two sub-tabs:

• Contains Equipment: Search and select the equipment you want to contain in this location. For example, a room containing a VAV and a fan. Note: only published equipment can be added to a location
• Contains Location: Search and select the location you created that you want to contain in this location. For example, a floor containing a corridor and a room

Note: You cannot assign a Floor as a contained location under another location, Floors must remain top-level.
