# Using Locations

#### Note: Access to Locations is determined by the Locations permission in a user’s profile under Global Settings > Users. Within the User Profile, a user can be given view-only access to Locations or the ability to modify/create locations.

To access Locations, select the *Locations* tab at the top of the screen in the main iQ4 Fleet Vista dashboard:

**Under the *locations* tab, you can:**

1. Edit your Location Groups.

2. Add a new Location with the + button.

3. Show all Locations in the selected group on the map.

4. Search for a Location.

5. Select a Location Group to view.

#### Editing Location Groups

To Edit Location groups, click *Edit Groups*. The groups’ names will then become modifiable, and a button to delete the entire group appears. When you’ve finished updating your groups, select “*Done Editing*“.

Note: Driver Homes, Facilities, and the All Locations Groups cannot be modified.

#### Adding a New Location

To add a new Location, click the ![](https://www.ftsgps.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Group-26557.svg) button and the Add Location screen will appear. Here, you can enter the *Location Address*, additional address information, its name, group, or a phone number. Location edits are made using the same screens below.

Typing in address will search for the address. If multiple matches are found, iQ4 Fleet Vista will prompt you to choose one.

Locations can either be circular or a custom shape. Drag the white anchor point and contract circular geofences:

If *Custom Shape* is selected, drag the white anchor points to adjust the geofence. Click on and drag the transparent anchor points to add a new anchor point or use the undo button to undo an action.

#### Advanced Options

Select *Advanced Options* to open the Speed Limit field. Here, you can override the speed limit set for the geofence by either removing the limit via checking off *No Limit*, or setting a *Custom* speed limit.
This speed limit will override the default limit used by alerts and reports for the area within the *Location*.
