Location Details

What the Location Details page is for

The Location Details page shows every datacenter you have registered inside a single location (typically one country or region). It is where you create, edit, activate, and remove datacenters, and where you see a quick rollup of capacity and device counts before drilling into the racks themselves.

How to reach this page

Open Locations from the admin sidebar, then click any location card. You land on Location Details for that country. A Back to Locations link sits at the top so you can return to the country grid at any time.

Page header

The header carries the country flag, the location name, and a count such as “3 datacenters”. On the right is the Add Datacenter button.

The capacity strip

Directly under the header is a single inline strip that totals every datacenter on the page:

Metric	What it shows
Datacenters	How many datacenters exist in this location.
Racks	Combined rack count across all datacenters here.
Available	Free rack units versus total rack units, e.g. 120U / 200U. The free figure is shown in green.
Devices	Total devices installed across every rack in this location.

These totals are read-only and update automatically as you add racks and devices. They are a rollup of the individual datacenter cards below.

Datacenter cards

The body is a grid of cards, one per datacenter. Each card shows:

• Name and, beneath it, the short name plus the optional provider (for example “VOX • Voxility”).
• An Active or Inactive pill in the top-right corner. Click the pill directly to toggle the datacenter’s status without opening any form.
• A Capacity bar showing used rack units against total rack units. The bar is green under 70% used, yellow from 70%, and red at 90% or above. The bar only appears once the datacenter has racks defining a total U.
• Racks and Devices counts for that datacenter.
• The address line, when one has been entered.
• A pencil (Edit) and trash (Delete) button along the bottom of the card.

Clicking anywhere on the card body opens Datacenter Details, where you manage the individual racks and client boxes.

If a location has no datacenters yet, the page shows an empty state with an Add First Datacenter button instead of the grid.

Adding a datacenter

1. Click Add Datacenter (top-right) or Add First Datacenter on an empty location.
2. The New Datacenter dialog opens. Type the Name — this is the only required field. As you type, a short name is suggested automatically (the first few letters in uppercase) and a small preview card at the top of the dialog updates live.
3. Adjust the Short Name if you want a different abbreviation (up to 10 characters, shown in uppercase).
4. Optionally fill in the Provider, Address, and Coordinates (see the field reference below).
5. Set the Display Order and the Active checkbox as needed.
6. Click Create Datacenter. The new card appears in the grid.

Field reference

Field	Purpose
Name (required)	The full datacenter name shown on the card and throughout the platform.
Short Name	A short code (up to 10 characters, always uppercased) used as the card sublabel. When you create a datacenter it is auto-suggested from the name, but you can overwrite it at any time.
Provider	The facility or carrier operator, shown next to the short name. Informational only — it is not tied to any provisioning integration.
Address	A free-text postal address, shown at the foot of the card.
Coordinates	Latitude and longitude for the facility. Use Lookup from address to fill these automatically from the address or name; otherwise enter them by hand.
Display Order	Controls the position of this datacenter relative to others (lower numbers appear first).
Active	When unchecked, the datacenter is marked inactive. You can also flip this later from the card pill.

The Lookup from address link tries the full address first, then falls back to the city and country if needed. It stays disabled until you have typed an address or a name. Coordinates are used for map display only and never affect billing or provisioning.

Editing a datacenter

1. Click the pencil icon on the datacenter card.
2. The same dialog opens, pre-filled with the current values. The dialog title reads Edit Datacenter.
3. Change any field and click Save Changes.

Activating or deactivating

To change status quickly, click the Active / Inactive pill on the card. This toggles immediately and does not open the dialog. Use it to take a facility out of rotation without deleting any of its rack or device records.

Deleting a datacenter

1. Click the trash icon on the card.
2. A Delete Datacenter? confirmation appears. If the datacenter still contains racks, devices, or client boxes, the dialog lists how many of each will be affected.
3. Review the impact, then click Delete Datacenter to confirm, or Cancel to back out.

Deletion is permanent and cascades to the racks and client boxes inside the datacenter; any devices in those racks are unallocated. If you only need to pause a facility, deactivate it instead of deleting it.

Tips and notes

• A location can carry zero datacenters — useful when planning a future region before physical space is confirmed.
• The capacity bar and the Available total only become meaningful once you add racks with a defined unit height inside Datacenter Details.
• The Provider field is purely descriptive. It does not connect this datacenter to any infrastructure provider plugin.
