Overview

Using Locations in the Rhombus console is a great way to break out various areas of one organization, allowing for granular management and access to each designated location.

As an administrator, you have several tools to help you manage each one of those locations.

Note: The Using Floor Plans article details how to use Rhombus' floor plan feature.

Create a Location

Locations can be created anytime via two methods: using the Rhombus App or the Rhombus Console.

Mobile App

1. Tap "Menu," then tap "Register Devices." Walk through the registration process.

2. When you get to the location prompt, tap "Add New Location" at the bottom of the page.

3. Enter a location name and address, then tap "Create Location."

Web Console

1. Navigate to the "Locations" tab, and click "Add Location."

2. Fill in the location name and address, then click "Save."

Edit a Location

Mobile App

1. Tap "Locations," then tap the location you wish to edit.

2. Tap the "Details" tab, then tap one of the edit buttons.

3. Change the name and/or address, and tap "Save."

Console

1. Navigate to the "Locations" tab, and click on the location you would like to edit.

2. Hover over the hamburger button in the upper right corner, and click "Details."

3. Click "Edit" next to the location name or the address to edit the details of the location.

4. Fill in the new details, and click "Save" when finished.

Delete a Location

1. Remove all devices from the location you wish to delete.

2. Navigate to the "Locations" tab, and click the location you wish to delete.

3. Hover over the hamburger button in the upper right corner, and click "Details."

4. Click "Delete Location."

5. Confirm by clicking the "Delete Location" button.

Move a Camera to a Different Location

1. Navigate to the "Devices" tab, and click the camera you wish to move to a new location.

2. Scroll down to "Camera Details & Settings," and click the edit icon next to the current location.

3. From the dropdown menu, select which location you would like to move the device to, and click "Save."

Note: These are all existing locations, so if you need to change it to a new location, Create a Location prior to moving the camera. 

Batch Assigning Locations

1. Navigate to the "Devices" page, and select the cameras you wish to batch assign to a location.

2. Select the "Actions" dropdown menu and click "Assign to Location."

3. From the dropdown menu, select the location you wish to assign all the cameras to, and click "Assign."

Note: This is the only way to assign a location to a device registered to a null location or registered without a chosen location.
