    This article explains what businesses are in the platform, and how you can create and manage them.

    What is a Business?

    Although locations are our core objects, we needed a way to group and manage them more effectively. This is where businesses come in.

    Think of a business as a folder, and each location inside it as a file:

    • You can have unlimited locations inside one business.
    • You can restrict access to the business to specific users.
    • You can define the purpose of a business.

    In short, businesses group locations to give users more flexibility in managing products and user rights.

    How to Create a Business

    Creating a business is quick and straightforward:

    1. Go to the Location Hub
      • Navigate to the Businesses tab.
    2. Click “Add Business”
      • This will open the Business creation form.
    3. Provide Business Information
      • Fill out the required fields.
      • Pay special attention to the Business Identifier – this is used to recognize the account in the Location Import file as businessIdentifier.
    4. Create a Responsible User (Optional)
      • You can create a responsible user now or skip this step. Users can always be added later.
    5. Choose the Desired Product Plan
    6. Click “Add Business”
      • Your new business will now be created and available in the Location Hub.
