A location must be created before an item can be assigned to it.  Items can be assigned to locations one by one by editing the location field or en masse.  

To create a new location to use in item records:

1. Select Administrative > Locations > Add Location.  The New Location window will appear.
   
    

   Fields and options in the New Location window include:

   Name	The name of the location.
   Type	The type of location: •Back Stock •Bin •On Display •Outside Vendor •Station.
   Inactive	Whether the location is active and available for use.
   Location Availability	What kind of availability the location has: •Inventory Location •Envelope Location.
   Moving a Job to this location marks it as done.	Used for appraisals, builds, assemblies, and repairs, this indicates that when you move an envelope here, the job is also marked as done and the current date is applied as the done date.
   Notes	Contains notes concerning the location and its use.

2. Complete the fields in the New Location window as needed. 
3. Select a save option.  The location will now appear in the Location drop-down menu.
