# Locations

> Model your company's physical offices and sites

A location is a physical office or site — a headquarters, a branch office, a warehouse. Devices, assets, and employees can each be tied to a location, which is what lets reports, policies, and permissions work at a "which office" level instead of only company-wide.

## What locations are used for

* **Scoping policies** — a policy can target "all devices at Gurgaon Office" instead of your whole fleet
* **Scoping roles** — an IT Operator's access can be limited to a specific location, so they only see and manage what's actually theirs
* **Filtering and reporting** — device, asset, and employee lists can all be filtered by location
* **Grouping in bulk import** — the Location column in an asset or employee import file matches against your existing location names (see [Bulk Import](/features/bulk-import))

## Adding a location

Under **Organisation → Locations**, click **Add location**.

| Field    | Required? | Notes                                                                                                          |
| -------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name     | Yes       | e.g. "Mumbai Office" — this is the name used everywhere else in the product, including in bulk import matching |
| Address  | No        | Street address                                                                                                 |
| City     | No        |                                                                                                                |
| State    | No        |                                                                                                                |
| Country  | No        |                                                                                                                |
| Timezone | No        | Used for relative timestamps and scheduling shown to people at that location                                   |

There's no limit on how many locations you can add.

## Editing or removing a location

Each location has an overflow menu (⋮) with **Edit** and **Delete**. Renaming a location updates its name everywhere it's referenced — you don't need to re-link devices or employees. If you're removing a location that still has devices, assets, or employees assigned to it, check with your team first — reassign anything important before deleting to avoid losing that context.
