Locations

Locations represent physical locations in Qminder, such as buildings, service points or retail store locations.

Every business account can have multiple Locations.

It is possible to grant access to staff to only one or multiple locations, and manage access levels on a per-location basis.

Service settings such as lines or input fields are stored on a per-location basis.
