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 Web Console.

Mobile App

1. Go to the menu and select "Register Devices." Go through the registration.

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

3. Add in a location name and address, then select "Create Location."

Web Console

Edit a Location

Mobile App

Console

Delete a Location

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

2. Click on the "Locations" tab and select the location you wish to delete.

3. Click on the "Settings & Details" tab.

4. Select "Delete Location."

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

Move a Camera to a Different Location

Note: These are all existing locations, so if you need to change it to a new location, please 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 then 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.
