The Security Location Group frame allows you to create and maintain sets or groups of locations that may be assigned to the Roles for Application Users. This allows you to have a level of control over multiple users who have similar job functions in your fleet organization. If a location is added or deleted from the group, it becomes effective for all users with that Role.
The Location Group should be created with consideration for the functions the users will perform at the locations in the group. For example, Shop Managers may only be allowed access to certain locations. Motor Pool Managers may be restricted to Motor Pool locations only. Location Groups can also function as Cost Centers when grouped by Owning or Using Department in accordance with your fiscal structure.
To create a new group, enter the group name. This field has a limit of 30 alphanumeric characters. You can choose to order the Locations lists by Number or Name.
On the Locations tab, choose the Locations to include in the group by clicking on the group(s) in the Locations Not Included column and click the >> button to move them over to the Locations in Group column.
You can then assign the group to Application User Roles on the Role tab. After you are finished adding the locations and roles associated with the Location group, click the 'Save' button at the top of the frame to create the group.
