Location Tags are used to define and identify different facilities or locations in a building. They can be linked to Requests to allow Requests to be managed by location. They can also be used to set up automatic workflows to assign Requests to Responders and to break down and analyze Request data by location.
Location Tags can also have Synonyms to identify alternate names for each location. Synonyms allow the system to recognize when Requestors may be referring to the location by another name.
