Define Location with Location Category Location

Explanation

This activity is used to define a location with Location Category Location. Locations are used to represent the geographical location of a particular item, for example an Equipment Object, a Work Order, or a Request.

 If the Location Category is Location,

The map position for the location is automatically retrieved when a Visit Address is created. This map position is inherited by connected Equipment Objects, Work Tasks, Service Requests and Requests. A Location with Location Category Location is created and a Map Position is retrieved when a new general location is created.

It is possible to create or update the address information using reverse geocoding, where the address details will be updated based on the position coordinates for the location. The "Create/Update Address" button will automatically update the Location Address by sending an API call to Here, retrieving the relevant address details as well as a time zone for the location.
