How to Add Locations

Locations help you group rooms together and make it easier for both your team and attendees to find where things are happening. Locations are used to:
    Group rooms under the same area (e.g., Floor 1, Main Hall)
    Organize events across multiple venues or buildings
    Help attendees understand where sessions and meetings are
    Support maps and navigation


What do I need first?

Before creating a location, make sure you have:
    Access to Event Setup (Admin or Event Manager role)
    Event Managers can create and manage locations, but only within the events they've been assigned to.
    An event already created
    Venue details like address or building name (Optional)


How to use it:

    Go to your Event and select Event Setup
    Click on Locations.
    Click the (+) button at the top, from there you will see two options:
    Create New
    Select from (existing) Locations
Option 1: Create New
    A pop-up window will appear.
    Location → Type the name of the venue
    You can select a suggested result
    Or click "add manually" to enter your own
    City - this will auto-fill (you can edit if needed)
    Click Save.
Option 2: Select from Locations
    A different pop-up will appear.
    Click the dropdown under Location
    Choose from the list of existing Locations.
    Click Select.
    A new pop-up will appear if you want to inherit (add) all the rooms that are created under that Location.
    Select Yes if you want that, and No if you don't


What options do I have?

    Create New → Best for new venues or custom locations
    Select Existing → Faster if the venue already exists
    Set Primary Location → Choose the main location for your event

Once added:
    The location will appear in your Locations list
    You can assign rooms to this location
    You’ll see how many rooms are linked to each location


What can go wrong?

    Duplicate locations → Creating a new one instead of selecting an existing one
    Having duplicate locations can make things messy. Rooms can get split across duplicate locations, which makes navigation confusing for attendees. It can also affect maps and scheduling, since the platform treats them as completely separate locations.
    Wrong location selected → Double-check before clicking “Select”
    Location not saving → Required field not filled
    Missing access → You may not have the right permissions


Tip

Before creating a new location, check “Select from Locations” first to avoid duplicates.
