for those locations quickly and easily. You are able to set and maintain
up to six locations (unless additional locations have been purchased).

One of the locations you have created can be set as your default. Your default location will be used as the master template for alerts, on the Dashboard, and for your daily forecast email. If you are under administrator control your Account Administrator will create your locations.
All locations created will automatically use the alert criteria setting of your default location, therefore for the sake of efficiency, you may wish to set your default alert criteria prior to creating additional locations. Alert criteria and recipient assignments for individual locations can be edited at any time.
