The Location Group module, located in the 
Setup group, allows location groups to be created and modified. A location is a specific area, such as a shelf, a receiving dock, or a storefront. A location group is a collection of locations that are usually in the same general area. For example, a warehouse could be a location group with several locations inside.
Create a location group
Follow the steps below to create a new location group.
- Open the
Location Group module and click the 
New button on the module toolbar.
- Enter the name of the location group in the Name field.
- If class tracking is enabled, a class can be assigned to the new location group.
- To give a user access to the location group, double-click the username in the Available section, or use the arrow buttons.
- Click the
Save button on the module toolbar to save the new location group.
Receiving, shipping, and stock locations will be created automatically for the new location group. Locations can be added and modified in the 
Location module. The Default Location tab displays all parts and their default location within the location group. Location groups can also be imported from a spreadsheet.
Inactivate a location group
- Location groups cannot be deleted. However, they can be renamed or inactivated by opening the location group, unchecking the Active checkbox, and then clicking the Save button.
- Inactive location groups will be removed from the Location Group fields throughout Fishbowl.
- By default, inactive locations will not be visible in the Location Group module search pane. To view and reactivate an inactive location group, select Inactive in the Status field of the search pane.
