Overview

Location is a base data feature defined for Resource Management that is not assigned to a specific subsidiary. All defined locations can be used by resources throughout KanBo.

A location is a place to which a resource is officially assigned. Each resource has a specific location and cannot be in more than one place at the same time. The locations are assigned to the official holidays that are applicable in the region.

Example: A location can also have a description that identifies the entity that is situated there.

This is a great convenience when planning work. When using the Resource Picker, we can filter the results by location.

Default location

In the beginning, we have only one default location. All resources are assigned to it.

We can create more locations and divide resources among them. However, we must remember that each resource can only be assigned to one location.

Each resource can be assigned to only one location.

After the creation of additional locations, we can transfer resources to them that were previously part of another location.
