Package Definition

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
