Location Management

Overview

Locations allow you to track exactly where each asset is physically situated. Uslimato uses a three-level hierarchy: Building → Floor → Room / Zone. Locations can be assigned to assets manually or automatically via a process step binding.

Location Hierarchy

LevelExamples
BuildingHeadquarters, Warehouse Berlin, Branch Munich
FloorGround Floor, 1st Floor, Basement
Room / ZoneServer Room, Office 3.12, Storage Area A

Every location belongs to exactly one parent (except top-level buildings). When viewing a location, the full path is displayed — for example: Headquarters / 1st Floor / Office 3.12.

Managing Locations (Admin)

Navigate to Locations in the sidebar. The page lists all locations in a tree view.

Admin users can:

  • Create a building, floor, or room using the New Location button
  • Edit a location's name by clicking the edit icon
  • Delete a location — only possible if it has no child locations and no assets currently assigned to it

Each location entry shows how many assets are currently assigned to it.

Assigning a Location to an Asset

Manually:

  1. Open the asset detail page.
  2. Click Edit (pencil icon).
  3. Select a location from the Location dropdown — you can search by building, floor, or room name.
  4. Save the asset.

Via a Movement Process:

If a process step is bound to the location field in the Process Editor, completing that step during a movement automatically writes the selected location to the asset. This is the recommended approach for bulk location updates (e.g. during a room move).

Filtering Assets by Location

On the Assets page, use the Location filter to show only assets at a specific building, floor, or room. Child locations are included — filtering by a building shows all assets on every floor and in every room within that building.

Deleting Locations

A location cannot be deleted if:

  • It has one or more child locations (floors or rooms beneath it)
  • One or more assets are currently assigned to it

Reassign or move all assets and remove all child locations before deleting a parent location.
