Location Management

The OpenSRP web location management package provides the ability to perform the following functions.

Package Definition

Location Unit - This piece of functionality helps the users create locations and add any parent locations for each location.
1. NB: A location hierarchy is defined by assigning parent locations. If a parent is not selected then the location is taken as a root location in the hierarchy.
Location Unit Group - This piece of functionality helps the users create a location unit group. Location groups are used to augment the location unit. It can be used to show the different working groups in a certain location.
1. NB: location hierarchy is not defined by the location groups.
