10.7.3 Changing information about locations (Location)

You use this job to change information about locations in order to reflect that service locations move and expand.

The default is that only the administrator can execute Location.

To change location information, start from the Location window, which is displayed by clicking the Location job menu item. The following figure shows the Location window.

(1) Adding a location

To add a location:

  1. From the simple search condition, select the location following which a location is to be added.
    No location can be added under Trash.
  2. Click the Add button.
    The Add Location dialog box appears.
    An item identified by a star ([Figure]) is mandatory.
    • Location ID
      Specify a unique ID for the location. This location ID must be different from that of Trash used to temporarily save the deleted locations. The location ID of Trash is set in the Server Setup dialog box. The default is 99999999.
      For details about the settings in the Server Setup dialog box, see 10.2.3(5) Trash location ID for deletions in the manual Setup Guide.
      If you specify alphabetic characters for Location ID, do not specify an ID that differs from an existing ID only in the use of upper-caser and lower-case characters.
    • Local name
      Specify a name for the location. Do not end the location name with a slash (/). Note that only one location with the same name can be created in the same hierarchy.
    To cancel, click the Close button.
  3. Click the Add button.
    The location is added to the simple search condition based on the specified information.
    The following figure shows the Add Location dialog box in which information about a location to be registered is specified.

(2) Deleting a location

To delete a location, select its check box in the Location window, and then click the Delete button.

Any lower-level locations are also deleted.

The deleted location is moved to the Trash created in the tree for the location. If there are lower-level locations under the deleted location, they are moved to the Trash with their hierarchical relationship maintained. Therefore, if you delete a location by mistake, you can restore it by moving it from the Trash back to its original location. Note that locations cannot be restored once they are deleted from the Trash.

Note
  • If you use the IP Group job menu to create location-specific IP group and manage IP addresses and delete a location, the corresponding IP group is also deleted. However, while the deleted location is in the Trash, the IP group is not deleted.
  • If the settings in the Customize Job Menu job menu allow a user other than the administrator to use the Location job menu, once a non-administrator user logs out, the Trash is no longer displayed. To restore a location under the Trash to its original location after logging out, the user must contact the administrator.

(3) Moving a location

To move a location:

  1. In the Location window, select the check box for the location that you want to move.
    To restore a deleted location, select the check box for the locations in the Trash.
  2. Click the Move button.
    The Browse Locations dialog box appears.
    To cancel, click the Cancel button.
  3. Specify the target location, and then click the OK button.
    The target location cannot be any of the location under the Trash.
    The Browse Locations dialog box closes and the location selected in the Location window moves to the specified location.
