A location is a place you audit: a restaurant, store, club or warehouse. Locations and their teams are set up in **Management → Locations** — this menu item opens the **Locations and teams** tab in the Automation section. The section is available to administrators.

## How to add a location

1. **Open the tab.** In the menu, go to **Management → Locations**.
2. **Click “Add location”.** The **New location** form appears.
3. **Fill in the fields.** The name is required (at least 2 characters), for example “10 Abay Ave”. The address and **Location email for reports** are optional. Reports go to this address only for checklists that have **Send the report to the location email** turned on in their settings.

4. **Click “Add”.** The location appears in the list.

> [!NOTE]
> The number of locations depends on your plan. How many locations you have and how many are allowed is shown on the **Plan** card in **Management → Settings**. If a plan limit applies and has been reached, you'll see a message about upgrading to the Network plan when you add a location. See [Plans and billing](/docs/account/pricing).

## How to edit or delete a location

- **Edit.** Click the pencil icon (**Edit**) next to the location name, change the name, address or email, and click **Save**.
- **Delete.** Click the trash icon (**Delete location**) and confirm. The location disappears from lists, audits and analytics, but the history of audits carried out there is kept.

## How to build a location team

Each location card has an employee table with the **Employee**, **Role** and **Manager** columns.

![Location cards: roles, employees and managers](/docs-media/en/team/locations.jpg)

1. **Add employees.** In the last row of the table, open the **+ add employee to location** list and pick a person. The list shows all active users in the company, with their position next to the name.
2. **Assign a role.** In the **Role** column, choose the employee's position.
3. **Mark the manager.** Tick the box in the **Manager** column. A location can have several managers.
4. **Remove anyone who doesn't belong.** The **Remove from location** cross unlinks the employee from the location but doesn't delete them from the company.

Changes are saved immediately; there is no separate button.

> [!WARNING]
> An employee's role is shared across all locations: if you change it in one location's card, it changes everywhere, including the **Users** section.

## Hints in the location card

- **Role coverage.** Above the table, all company positions are listed along with who holds them at this location. If nobody holds a position, it says “not assigned”.
- **No manager.** If a location has no manager, you'll see the warning “no manager — unassigned tasks will go to administrators”. The number of such locations is shown on the **Locations and teams** tab.
- **Search.** The **Find location** field filters the list by name.

## Why link employees to locations

- A user who isn't an administrator sees only their own locations in analytics.
- Automation scenarios look for the assignee of a violation task among the staff of the audited location: first an employee with the required role, then the manager.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I pay for locations?

On the Start plan you can run up to 2 locations for free; on the Network plan you pay for each location. If the **Plan** card in settings says all features are currently free, the limit doesn't apply. More in [Plans and billing](/docs/account/pricing).

### What happens to the audits of a deleted location?

The history of completed audits is kept, but the location itself disappears from lists, new audits and analytics.

### Where do I set who works at a location — in the employee card or here?

Location staff and managers are set up only on the **Locations and teams** tab. In the employee card in **Users** you set the type, position and access.
