Define a location hierarchy

Define a location hierarchy for your Telecommunications Network Inventory forms so that you can track and manage your network assets. By defining a location hierarchy, you can see where all your network equipment is located.

Before you begin

• Role required: admin, sn_ni_core.inventory_admin
• To establish locations hierarchy, ensure to:
  1. Create the top-level locations that contain the subordinate locations. For example, in the locations hierarchy, create Americas first. Leave the Parent field empty.
  2. Create a regional location and in the Parent field, select the top-level location as its parent. For example, in the locations hierarchy, create North America and then select Americas as its parent.
  3. In the Locations section at the bottom of the form, click New and create the location records for each lower-level child location that are subordinate to that regional location.

About this task

A location record must contain at least one of the following properties or sets of properties:

• Address
• Country
• Region
• Latitude and Longitude

By using this form, you can construct a location hierarchy. For example, the following example shows a typical location hierarchy that appears when you search for a location in the Location field in the Network Site form.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > User Administration > Locations.

2. Select New.

3. On the Location form, fill in the fields, with address and contact information for the location record.
