About Locations

  • Locations are places that Providers can be scheduled into.  For example, a location may be a hospital, an office, spa, court house, etc.
  • SUMO can have an unlimited number of nested locations and rooms.
  • In order to schedule into a location, the location must first exist within SUMO. This means you must either enter all locations into SUMO manually or import them.

NESTED LOCATIONS – If you would like to create nested locations, you may do this using the Parent Location field.  For example, if you are a University, you may create a location named “West Campus” and a location named “East Campus”.  Then you may create a location named “West Building A” and a location named “West Building B”, and on each of these 2 locations you will populate the Parent Location field with “West Campus”.  You may then create rooms under each of the building locations.  This hierarchy would be:

  • West Campus
    • West Building A
      • Room 1
      • Room 2
    • West Building B
      • Room 1
      • Room 2

…and repeated for the East Campus.
