What is a Location?
Locations reflect physical or virtual facilities of your business within Cozero. The emission calculation is done at the location level. They allow you to associate emissions to a specific geo-located site or a virtual representation of a site. Examples of locations can include, but are not limited to: headquarters, production facilities, a repair shop, parts departments, purchasing offices, employment offices, warehouses, meeting places for directors, sales offices, permanent sample or display rooms, research facilities or recreational facilities for use by employees or customers. In the Cozero Platform it is possible to create locations as part of business units.

How to assign Users to a Location?

Either when you create a Location or when you edit a Location, there is the option to define the “Responsible User” for that particular Location

How and when to activate or deactivate a location?
The option to deactivate a location can be useful if you wish to hide or remove the impacts of these emissions without permanently deleting them. If one chooses to deactivate a location it simply means the emission associated with that location will not appear in the log overview table or in the reports.
The status of a “Location” can be changed when clicking on the respective “Location”, which can be found on the left side of your dashboard under the section “Organization”
To change the status of the “Location” click on the respective Location and switch the "active" button to active or inactive. If the button is blue-coloured, the business unit or location is active.
