The Location Groups page allows you to view, edit, and create location groups that will be used throughout RADAR. A location group (LG) can consist of any number of locations. The grouping of locations can range from “All Company” or “West Coast” to a more specific location group that represents a single location.
It is important to note that a primary location group will be added automatically during the setup of a new location. The “Primary?” column on this page notes whether a location group consists of a single location, which would make it a primary location group for the location.
