Using Locations and Location Groups
Updated over a month ago

A Location is where your Job Position would be located in and makes up an Opening. This can be an address or a general area e.g. market or district.

Each Location determines an Opening's:

  • Address

  • Country

  • Time Zone

  • Language

  • Brand

  • SMS Number

You can also place Locations into different Location Groups. You can think of Location Groups as folders used for organizing Locations. While Fountain will initially bring you to your organization's Location Groups page upon editing Locations, this article will first demonstrate how to create Locations and put them into Groups.

Add Location

  1. Click Jobs in the top navigation bar and select Locations.

Important Note:

You should remove a location from any Openings before deleting. Before you can delete a Location, it can not be associated with any Opening. If there are still Openings that are linked to this Location, you'll get a pop-up when you try to delete the location (as shown below). Go into each Opening to remove/change to another Location before deleting the Location.

Add Location Group

You can place Locations in different Location Groups. You can think of Location Groups as folders used for organizing Locations. This allows you to better organize and find your openings faster, as well as assign owners.

For example, if you had two Locations (San Francisco and Los Angeles), you could place them into a "California" Location Group.

  1. Click Jobs in the main navigation and select Locations.

  2. Click the blue Add Group button.

  3. Name your group and assign a Group Owner. Group ownership is useful for teams where individual user manages a set of Openings based on Groups, otherwise, you can assign owners at a per Opening basis.
