# Manage Locations

## Creating, Updating, and Searching Factory Locations in ION

#### Objective

This SOP outlines the steps to create and manage factory locations within the ION system, ensuring clarity and efficiency in operations.

#### Key Steps

**1. Overview of Factory Page** [0:00](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=0)

* Access the factory page in ION to view locations within your factory.
* Understand that locations can have types and can be nested.

**2. Understanding Location Types and Nesting** [0:16](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=16)

* Locations can include warehouses, wings, subclassifications, racks, and totes.
* Use the nested setup to traverse through factory locations or utilize the search function.

**3. Viewing Location Information** [0:56](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=56)

* Click on a specific location to view its overview, including:
  * Issues
  * Inventory
  * Procedure steps
* Note if the location has sub-locations.

**4. Modifying Location Information** [1:34](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=94)

* To change location information (e.g., supervisors, type), access the location settings.

**5. Quick Glance at Related Steps** [1:44](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=104)

<figure><img src="/files/LvohqxXvXrSzXxzasuxW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Use the quick glance feature to see related steps for each location.

**6. Creating a Sub-location** [2:03](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=123)

<figure><img src="/files/hXXBMaahWAP9DX1iWahQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Navigate to sub-locations and click 'Create'.
* Set the type of the new location (e.g., tote).

**7. Confirming New Location Creation** [2:39](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=159)

<figure><img src="/files/hXXBMaahWAP9DX1iWahQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Ensure the new location is visible and linked to its parent location.

**8. Navigating Back to Parent Location** [2:56](https://loom.com/share/5581b5e1cf9747f18590d36c041300dc?t=176)

<figure><img src="/files/skhlWPt6ThkKLmGiRcDz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Return to the parent location to confirm the visibility of the newly created sub-location.

#### Cautionary Notes

* Ensure that all location types are correctly defined to avoid confusion.
* Double-check the nesting structure to maintain clarity in location hierarchy.

#### Tips for Efficiency

* Use the search function to quickly locate specific locations instead of manually navigating through the nested setup.
* Regularly update location information to reflect any changes in supervisors or types.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual-v2.firstresonance.io/production/locations/manage-locations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
