2. Click the Sub-Locations option.

3. The default view will be to Add a new sublocation.

7. Click the green check mark in the upper right corner to save. User will get a confirmation pop-up that it was created successfully.

Asset ID (your Sub-Location Name)

Serial # = Unknown

Criticality = 5

Production Schedule = PSNONE
