# Locations

# Overview

Locations help you with grouping & searching your data - datasets, assets, notes, defects, incidents and 360 photos. It's easy to use - you just need to define an area, select type and give a name to it, after that all data in that area will automatically get location information.

# Add location

|| This action is available only for admins or users with permission to locations

Locations can be added via organisation settings. You can either import or add a new location by clicking on actions in the upper right corner.

* Give a name for the location, this will be visible to all users
* Select **OTHER / PORT AREA** as type. If Vessel traffic and/or Community modules are in use port areas can be used to filter port call and berth reservation information and to determine booking rights for stakeholders
* Define an area on the map by drawing or setting from the current view, or just place the imported location
* You can set the area as a default, by clicking **Set as default**, the default area has a star -icon after its name. This is the area, where organisation users will be focused when opening GISGRO.

# Assets, notes, defects, incidents, datasets and 360 photos

After you have added a new location, the location information will be automatically added to all data inside the location. If there are multiple locations overlapping, all the locations will be added.

| You can also search all data, based on location
