Locations - Sub Locations

Sub-locations in OPS-COM allow administrators to define more granular areas within a main location, primarily for detailed incident reporting. This feature enhances the precision of incident documentation by pinpointing specific spots within a larger location, providing richer context for investigations and analysis.

Using this Feature

The Manage Sub-Locations page provides a straightforward interface to add and delete various sub-locations.

1. Hover over System Configuration, then Manage Locations, and click Manage Sub-Locations.

Adding Sub-Locations
  1. Click the Add Sub-Location button.
  2. Enter the name of your new location.
  3. The GIS Number field is optional and is used by clients who utilize a geographic location code (GIS maps).
  4. Click Save Changes to create the new location.

The Manage Sub-Locations page will refresh and display a confirmation message indicating that the Location has been updated (or added).

Editing Sub-Locations
  1. Locate the Sub-Location you wish to modify in the list.
  2. Click the Edit button next to it.
  3. Make your updates and click Save Changes.
Deleting Sub-Locations

A sub-location can only be deleted from the system if it is not associated with any existing records (e.g., incidents, violations, or other data where this location is referenced).

  1. If a sub-location is eligible for deletion, you will see a Delete button specific to that location 
  2. Click the Delete button and confirm. This action will permanently remove the location from the system.
