Locations#

The Locations view is a Finder-style browser focused on the physical placement of objects. It uses the same table, filters, and column controls as the Finder, but the left sidebar shows a hierarchical location tree instead of a flat class list.

Open it from Inventory > Locations in the top navigation.

Rights#

You can browse Locations with read access to objects. Editing locations on objects requires write access on the object. See Rights and permissions.

Layout#

The page has two regions side-by-side.

A hierarchical tree showing where each object sits. A typical chain is Country → Building → Room → individual objects.

  • The top entry All objects lists every object regardless of location.
  • Clicking any node in the tree filters the right pane to objects placed below that node.
  • The tree expands and collapses by clicking a node.

The lower half of the sidebar reuses the All classes list from the Finder, so you can combine a location filter with a class filter.

Main pane#

The main pane behaves like the Finder table:

  • New object + creates an object and assigns its location automatically to the currently selected node, see Create an object.
  • Edit ⌄ drives bulk actions on selected rows.
  • Move ⌘ is the location-specific action, see Move objects between locations below.
  • Class default ⌄, the Edit (pencil-on-list) icon, and Widgets work exactly as in the Finder; see Preset configuration.

Move objects between locations#

The Move ⌘ button replaces the Import from CSV file upload button you see in the regular Finder.

  1. Tick the rows of the objects you want to move.
  2. Click Move ⌘ above the table.
  3. In the dialog, pick the new parent location.
  4. Confirm.

Each moved object's Location category is updated to the new parent.
