Adding Locations

When adding a location, users can either:

  • Manually enter latitude and longitude coordinates
  • Search for an address or location name, which will auto-populate the coordinates
  • Click on the map to drop a pin and select the desired location

Records containing a location can be viewed collectively on the Map view in Blue. On the Map, the pin color for each record corresponds to the color of its primary tag.
