Introduction

Efficient location management is essential for any growing organisation, especially when managing distributed teams, attendance policies, or region-specific payroll components.

uKnowva HRMS offers a streamlined Location Master interface that allows HR administrators to create, update, and manage office locations with ease.

Whether you're adding a newly established branch or formalising an existing site into your HRMS, the process is straightforward and ensures consistency across modules like attendance, compliance, and employee records.

This article explains how to add a new location in uKnowva HRMS in a few easy steps.

Step 1: Accessing the Location Master Page

To begin, navigate to the uKnowva HRMS instance and access the Location Master section.

If you’re not sure how to reach this page, you can refer to this tutorial for a complete walkthrough: Accessing, Searching, and Viewing Locations in uKnowva HRMS.

Once inside the Location Master module, a new interface will appear displaying a list of all current locations.

These are shown under headers such as Location Name, Action, State, PT State, Published, Latitude, Longitude, and Radius.

Step 2: Adding a New Location

Once on the Location Master page, locate the + Add button positioned at the top-right corner of the screen.

Clicking this button will open a pop-up window designed for entering the details of the new location.

Start by typing the Location Name and then choose the appropriate State and PT State from the drop-down menus.

These fields ensure that your location is correctly mapped for regional compliance and statutory deductions.

Next, you’ll find fields to enter the Latitude, Longitude, and Radius of the location.

If you’re unsure of the coordinates, you can use the Set My Current Location button, which automatically captures your current GPS coordinates, saving time and improving accuracy.

There is also a Published toggle that allows you to choose whether the new location should be immediately active and visible in the system.

Once you have entered all the required details, clicking the Save button will finalise the entry.

If you wish to discard your changes, you can click on Cancel to close the pop-up without saving.
