With Operate, you can add multiple locations of your workspace business and manage them all in one place. In this guide, we will look at how you can manage your locations.

In order to have access to a new location in your Operate account, you first need to purchase a license from essensys. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a licence for a new location.

The Operate area that is dedicated to locations management is Space > Locations. Here is where you will find any pre-existing locations and add new ones when needed.
