Browsing All Locations
The Locations page gives you a global view of every location across all clients in your organization. Instead of drilling into each client to find a specific site, you can search and browse them all from one place.
Finding the Locations Page
The Locations page is located in the left-hand navigation under the Clients group:
- In the sidebar, click Clients to expand the group.
- Click Locations.
This page is available to users with the Organization Admin role.
Understanding the Grid
The page displays a table with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Location Name | The name of the location. Click the name to open the location detail page. |
| Client | The client this location belongs to. |
| Contact | The on-site contact person, if one has been set. |
| Address | The full address displayed on a single line (street, city, postal code, and country). |
| # Activities | The number of activities scheduled at this location. |
Locations are sorted alphabetically by name.
Searching for a Location
Use the search box in the top-right corner to filter locations by name, address or VAT number:
- Type a location name, part of an address, or a VAT number in the search field.
- Press Enter or click the search button. The grid updates to show only matching locations.
- Click Clear to remove the filter and see all locations again.
The search is case-insensitive — typing "warehouse" will match "Main Warehouse", "WAREHOUSE B", and so on.
What the Search Matches
A location is shown when the search term appears in any of the following:
| What you can search | Fields matched |
|---|---|
| Location name | The location's name |
| Location address | Street address, address line 2, postal code, city, country |
| Client address | The street address, address line 2, postal code, city and country of the client the location belongs to |
| Client VAT number | The VAT number of the client the location belongs to |
So searching for a client's VAT number lists all of that client's locations, and searching for a city lists every location in that city — as well as the locations of clients whose own business address is in that city.
The client's name is not searched from this page — the Locations page is for finding a location, not a client. To find a client by name, use the Clients page. A client-name search here only returns results if the name also happens to appear in an address.
How Addresses and VAT Numbers Are Matched
Addresses and VAT numbers are matched with spaces, dots (.), dashes (-) and commas (,) ignored, both in what you type and in what is stored. This means formatting differences don't get in the way:
1234ABand1234 ABboth find a location whose postal code is stored as1234 ABBE 0123.456.789,BE0123456789and0123456789all find the same VAT number
The address is read as one line in its natural order — street → address line 2 → postal code → city → country — so a search term can span more than one field as long as it follows that order. For a location at Kerkstraat 12, 1234 AB Amsterdam, NL:
| You type | Result |
|---|---|
Kerkstraat | Found |
kerkstraat 12 | Found |
1234 AB Amsterdam | Found — spans postal code and city |
Amsterdam | Found |
Kerkstraat Amsterdam | Not found — the postal code sits between the street and the city |
If you want to combine a street and a city, search for one of them on its own instead.
Location names are matched exactly as they were stored, including spaces and punctuation.
Your search term is remembered in your browser. When you return to the Locations page, your last search is restored automatically so you can pick up where you left off.
Scrolling Through Results
The page loads 20 locations at a time. As you scroll down, more locations are loaded automatically. A loading indicator appears while the next batch is being fetched.
Opening a Location
Click on a location name in the grid to navigate to its detail page, where you can view and edit all location information, see scheduled activities, and validate the address on a map.
What You Cannot Do on This Page
The Locations page is read-only. To create, edit, or delete a location, navigate to the specific client's detail page or to the individual location's detail page.
