Why use the location profiles?

Using stored Location Profiles can be extremely useful when you regularly use the same venues or locations for repeat clients.

Rather than entering the same information every time you create a job or schedule, Location Profiles allow you to build a reusable database of locations, ensuring information remains accurate, consistent and available across your operation.

Benefits of using Location Profiles

• Enter venue information once
  Store the venue address, check-in location, check-in radius, venue notes and other important information once and reuse it across future jobs.

• Build up valuable location knowledge
  Add and store multiple notes and images against each location and control who can see them. If notes or images are made available to staff, everyone booked at that location can access them. This allows valuable venue knowledge to be carried forward effortlessly from one team to the next.

• Maintain location contacts
  Build and maintain a contact list for each client location, keeping important venue contacts associated with the correct location.

• Create schedules faster
  When adding locations to your schedule — either through the interface or via the schedule import file — you only need to reference the Location Name rather than entering all of the venue information again.

• Improve location consistency
  Using stored locations ensures the same location is used consistently across jobs and schedules. This is particularly useful for larger venues, such as exhibition centres, which may have multiple map points listed on Google Maps.

• Set venue-specific check-in areas
  Customise the check-in radius for individual locations, overriding your organisation's default check-in radius where required.

• Set venue-specific perimeter tracking
  Define a custom perimeter around each location to support ongoing location tracking during a shift. This is particularly useful for larger or irregularly shaped venues where a simple circular check-in radius is not sufficient. Once configured, the same venue perimeter can be reused across future jobs, helping you identify when staff move outside the designated working area.
