In the “Locations” section, you will find your locations list where you can edit an existing location (by clicking the pencil icon) or create a new one manually by clicking “New Location”.

Then, complete the new Location information and click Save.

If you want to update or add multiple locations, you can do it in bulk by importing an Excel file.

  1. To update the locations list, access the web portal and go to Settings & Help > Lists. Then click Export, which will download the complete database in .XLS format containing your previously uploaded locations.

2. After that, you can add new locations to the same file while keeping the original order and format.
