Locations
In this guide, we’ll explore Spin’s locations model and show you how to manage and interact with locations seamlessly within the Spin platform.
List All Locations
To view all of your locations in Spin, head to the contacts page. You'll see all of Spin's contact categories along the top of
the contact gallery, representing the different types of contacts available in Spin. Choosing the Location
contact type will filter to all of your locations!
Edit a Location
If the details of a location change, updating them in Spin is quick and easy. Go to the contacts page, open the location you
want to update, and click the Action
button, followed by Edit Location
. This opens a modal with fields for:
- Name
- Alternative Label (useful for specific places within a property)
- Address One
- Address Two (e.g., entrance or suite number)
- City
- Postal/Zip Code
Note: As you edit the Address One field, Spin will suggest addresses, saving you time and automatically linking the location to higher-level data for distance calculations, mapping, and timezone accuracy.
When you're satisfied with the changes, click Update Location
to save.
Add a Note
You can add a note directly from the contact’s details page. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the notes guide.
