Once you login to your Admin Control Panel, it's easy to add new locations/records to your database.
On the navigation menu, click the link that says "Add" to bring up the proper form.
Once the "Add New Location" form is loaded, you simply fill out the fields with your desired text and click the "Add New Record" button to save the location to your database.
Ranking Levels:
You have 4 choices when it comes to a location's Rank Level:
Essentially, every location has a rank level associated with it. You can assign rank levels according to your own needs. If you have a few locations that you want to always be printed at the top of the screen when it's a match, then you can assign Level 1 to that location.
Locations are printed to the screen in accordance with its Rank Level.
When you assign a location a rank level other than 4, that location will also have a color background behind it, so that it stands out in the results list. This background color can be changed via the Program Settings Tool.
User Defined Fields:
User Defined Fields will only be available on the 'Add New Location Form' if you have enabled them with the Program Settings Tool. You must bring up the Program Settings Tool and enter text labels for any or all user defined fields that you wish to utilize in your system. Once you give a User Defined Field a text label, that User Defined Field will be displayed on your "Add New Location Form" and also throughout your entire system.
User defined fields do support text and html. So, you can type in plain text desciptions or enter html to display things such as images, icons or special fonts.
An example of getting images to show for each locations, would be to put the following code in one of your user fields:
<img src="http://www.myserver.com/images/location22.gif">
Required Fields:
You can also control which fields are required (must have input) and which are not via the Program Setting Tool. Making a field required, will make the Admin type in data in the field before it can be saved to the database. It is a good way to control which fields must contain data, so you will have consistent information for each record.
