What is a location?
A location in your Urhere is a digital representation of a physical venue (or simply a division). Locations act as dividers of data & cost centers for timesheets. They help you keep multiple venues organised.
Dividing your workforce within Locations and Work Areas allows you to filter and extract financial views of hours, wages and shift data.
Do I need more than one location?
Typically businesses that have multiple outlets or branches need more than one location. Other examples include business owners who own multiple cafes or restaurants, operations with multiple warehouse.
How are Work Areas different from Locations?
Work Areas provide categorisation of shifts and employees. They also allow for filtering and data division. Work Areas are perfect for business who have multiple teams, or areas such as “Kitchen”, “Production”, “Front Counter” etc.
Navigating to the Location Manager #
Locations can be added and edited by a Manager or Owner.
Navigate to the Location Settings page by clicking on Account > Settings. Once you are in the “Settings” menu, click on “Locations, Areas & Roles”.
Adding a New Location #
To add a new location, click on the “+ New Location” button at the top of the screen.

Editing (or Deleting) a Location? #
At any point in time, you can edit a Location by selecting “Edit Location”.
There is also an option to Delete (Remove permanently) a Location.
Note: If you remove an existing Location all employees allocated to that location will be orphaned.
The employees will need to be re-allocated to another existing Location – using the Employees menu option. Existing eKiosks allocated to the deleted Location will also be orphaned and need to be reallocated to an existing Location – using eKiosk Management.

Your subscription will automatically be updated. If you are currently in trial, you will be unaffected.
Customers who have removed a location during their billing period will receive a pro-rate credit on their next month’s invoice.
