    Question

    How to add a new location that can be used in different Voyager modules?

    Answer

    • Use the checklist in Additional Information to add a new location to Voyager.
    • Configure only those modules which will use the new location -- for example:

      SysAdmin > Security > Acquisitions Profiles and SysAdmin > Acquisitions > Policy Definitions configurations are necessary if you intend to use the new location in Acquisitions. 

      And/Or Sysadmin > Security > Cataloging Profiles and SysAdmin > Cataloging > Policy Definitions configurations are required if you intend to use the new location in Cataloging.

    2. System Administration > Security
    3. System Administration > [Module]
