This article describes the various features of the Locations screen, which you access by clicking  >> Locations.

Note: For information about the banner at the top and accordion menu on the left, see Navigating the Synovia Site.

Locations are meaningful areas in your organization, around which you draw zones. There are three different types:

• School: Used for school districts, the area where the students will be dropped off and picked up at school — not the school itself, but the actual parking and unloading space.
   
• Landmark: Used for any type of fleet, any type of area pertinent to your drivers or organization — such as a job site where vehicles will enter or exit during the workday, a frequent field trip location, or a non–state-maintained road.
   
• Yard: Where the vehicles will park when they are not in use, often some kind of depot — in other words, where they'll be when they're done driving for the day. This kind of location can tell you what time a vehicle has left the yard to start a route, for example.

These are the options along the top right of the screen:

• : Begins the process of adding a new location for your organization. (See Adding a Location for details.)
   
• : Refreshes the data on the screen (which can be especially useful if other users are making changes).
   
• : Begins the process of adding multiple locations to your Synovia account. (We recommend guidance when bulk loading locations. Please contact your Synovia project manager or fleet advisor for details.)
   
• : Removes the selected location from the system. (See Deleting a Location for details.)
     
• : Saves the data as a PDF you can print.
   
• : Exports the grid data to an Excel spreadsheet.

Here is an explanation of the grid icons and column headers:

• : Opens the Edit screen, on which you can modify the location's properties. (See Editing a Location for details.)
   
• : Opens the Geofence tab of the Edit screen, on which you can view and modify the zone boundaries. (See Editing a Location for details.)
   
• Name: The name of the location.
   
• Type: The category of location (school, yard, or landmark).
   
• Zone Drawn: If checked, this indicates that the geofence boundary for the location — the zone — has been drawn out point by point.
   
• Ignore for RGC: If checked, this means that events in the location's zone will be returned with specific addresses within the zone rather than with the location's name. RGC stands for reverse geocoding. You can set this when creating a location (see Adding a Location) or when modifying a location's zone (see "Editing the Zone" in Editing a Location).
   
• Last Modified By: The user who last made a change to the location's properties.
   
• Last Modified Date: The date and time of that last change.

Along the bottom of the screen are icons that enable you to navigate through the pages of data. See Paging Options for an explanation of these.
