Managing Locations
Your homeless shelter may operate from a single location and provide care to a limited geographical area, or it may operate in a large metropolitan and provide services through several locations, or it may even be a regional or national organization with hundreds of locations.
Homeless Shelter CSDB provides a method for managing clients from the smallest single-location organization to the largest national (or international) organization.
The administrator (or super user) establishes the locations and the shelter manager / data entry user / view-only user accounts associated with each location. The shelter managers, in turn, configure the facilities within their location.

The super user, however, can view aggregate statistics and reports for all locations, to help manage the homeless shelter program as a whole.
Under a super user log-in, locations are managed through the Location tab:
