Creating Regions

Regions group together server locations that share similar characteristics. Regions can be nested inside of other regions.

When a profile is applied to a region, it is also applied to, or inherited by, all the associated sub-locations. A user with read/write permissions for a location has the option of excluding an inherited profile for his location so it is not used, but he cannot change the priority of an inherited profile.

To create a region:

1   From the Locations tab, click New in the Sub-locations panel.

-Or-

Use the Location Tree to navigate to the region where you want to create the new region and click the Locations context link. In the Sub-locations panel, click New.

2   In the New Subordinate Location dialog box, click Region.

The New Region page appears.

3   Type a name for the new region in the text box, and configure the latitude, longitude, and notes if desired. If you prefer to click the location on a map rather than provide the latitude and longitude coordinates, click the Use map to plot button.
4   Save your changes.
