Tips

  • You can also import locations from a worksheet. Select Import , and then select Download Import Template to generate a template to help you format the data correctly.
  • Locations can be created on the Details Summary & Settings page for a project, on the Resource List page for a resource, or in the project or program Risk Register for a risk. By default, the locations created for a project, resource, or risk are stored with the object, but you can optionally save the location to the Locations dictionary for future use.
