The following options and information are displayed on the Location Summary screen:
- The ability to [Import] and [Export] lists of locations to an Excel® (.xls or .xlsx file) is available. When working with imports and exports:
- An export must be performed first to get a working spreadsheet for importing.
- Use the check boxes to select the locations to be exported.
Important: System generated IDs on the exported spreadsheet should not be changed, added or copied. The absence of an ID upon import will denote an item to be added.
- Place a capital X in the Remove column of the spreadsheet in order to remove the item upon import. The primary location cannot be removed using the [Import] feature.
