    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 -- i.e., SysAdmin > Security > Acquisitions Profiles and SysAdmin > Acquisitions > Policy Definitions configurations are necessary if intend to use the location in Acquisitions.
