Edit a Network: Add/Edit a Location

After creating a Network there may be some locations which need editing or new locations that need to be added. Users can achieve this by using the “Add/Edit Location” function under “Edit Active Network”.

There are three main actions that can be performed when editing a Network:

  • Adding a location - Add new locations to a Network

  • Editing a location - Edit current locations within the Network.
