Background

Description of general background relevant for the task described in this How-to page.

Step-by-step description

1.	Fig. 1: Administration menu for operation administrator Select 'Location Catalog' from the administration menu (cog wheel) in the top left corner of the screen (Fig. 1).
2.	Fig. 2: Location catalog screen This will get you to the location catalog screen of the application (Fig. 2). The location catalog screen shows your location hierarchy tree on the right and a Google Earth map on the right. NOTE Please note that depending on your connectivity and the size of your location catalog, it might take a while to start Google Earth and load your entire location catalog. Once the catalog has been downloaded, the location are drawn one-by-one. A progress bar will indicate the number of location that have been added to the map already. You are advised to wait until the entire catalog is drawn before proceeding to the next step.
3.	Expand the location hierarchy tree on the right as required by clicking on the little plus (+) signs left of locations that contain other locations and navigate to the location you would like to edit. The locations are sorted by location type first and location name second. Alternatively you can search your location catalog by clicking on the button at the top of the location tree.
4.	Fig. 3: Moving a location to a new parent location - top panel: inappropriate parent location - bottom panel: appropriate parent location To change the location hierarchy of a location, simply drag the location to the new parent. As you hover over possible parent locations, a green check mark or red stop sign will indicate whether it is an appropriate parent for the location (Fig. 3). See Location hierarchy for detailed on supported hierarchy relationships between locations. Locations that already contain child locations and are collapsed, will automatically expand as you hover over them. If you have a long location tree that goes beyond the end of the screen, you can scroll down or up by hovering with your location over the bottom or top edge of the location tree section of the screen.
