Locations precisely identify a specific physical place, such as the address of a particular company, or an office address. Because organizations reference locations, you should define locations before organizations. This lets you use the new location in the organization.
Locations are used to pinpoint where other system components reside, such as contacts and assets. A location can be any type of place, such as a city, a campus, a building, or even a floor of a building. Defining locations lets you keep track and administer the areas and locations where the items of concern to your enterprise reside. Locations are the only objects with which you can associate a physical address—all other objects, such as organizations, assets, and contacts, derive their addresses from their associated locations.
