Locations

What the Locations page is for

The Locations page is the geographic directory of your physical infrastructure. Each card represents a country or region where you operate hardware. Opening a card drills into that location's datacenters, and from there into racks and the devices mounted in them. This is also the foundation customers select from when they order products that are tied to a place.

How to reach it

In the admin sidebar, click Locations (the map-pin icon). The page opens directly on the location grid.

Reading the page

The summary tiles

Four summary tiles sit across the top and aggregate every location, datacenter, and rack you manage:

Tile	What it shows	Clickable?
Locations	Total number of locations you have created.	Yes — clears any filter and shows all locations.
Active	How many locations are currently switched on.	Yes — filters the grid down to active locations only.
Total Racks	The combined rack count across every datacenter under every location.	No — display only.
Available Capacity	Free rack units (U) still open across all racks, with the total U shown in the badge beside it.	No — display only.

The two clickable tiles act as a toggle group with the location cards. The selected tile is highlighted with a coloured ring. Click Locations again at any time to return to the full, unfiltered list.

The location cards

Each card is one location and surfaces its operational health at a glance:

• Flag and name — the country flag (generated from the country code) and the location's display name.
• Datacenter count — how many datacenters live under this location, shown under the name.
• Active / Inactive pill — the status badge in the top-right corner. Click it directly to switch the location on or off without opening any form.
• Capacity bar — used U out of total U, with a colour cue: green below 70% used, amber from 70% to 89%, red at 90% and above. The bar only appears once the location has racks that report a total U.
• Racks / Devices / Available — three counters along the bottom showing the rack count, the device count, and the free rack units remaining at this location.

Beneath those, each card has a selection checkbox, a drag handle (the grip icon), an edit pencil, and a delete trash icon.

Common tasks

Add a location

1. Click Add Location in the top-right of the page.
2. In the dialog, type the Name (for example, "Netherlands" or "Amsterdam"). This field is required.
3. Enter the two-letter Country Code (such as NL or US). The flag is generated automatically from this code, and the preview card at the top of the dialog updates as you type.
4. Optionally fill the Flag field if you want a different flag than the one generated from the country code.
5. Click Create Location.

Adding a location does not provision any hardware. It only creates the geographic entry. You still need to open the location and add datacenters, then add racks and devices inside them, before there is any real capacity to fill.

Edit a location

1. Click the pencil icon on the card.
2. Change the Name, Country Code, or Flag as needed.
3. Click Save Changes.

The active/inactive state is not part of this form — toggle it with the status pill on the card instead.

Turn a location on or off

Click the Active or Inactive pill on any card. An inactive location is hidden from the places where customers pick a location, but its datacenters, racks, and devices are all kept intact, so you can switch it back on later without losing anything.

Open a location's details

Click anywhere on the body of a card (the flag, name, or stats) to open that location's detail view. There you see the datacenters at that location and can add, edit, or remove them, then drill further into racks and devices. See Inventory for how racked and loose hardware is tracked.

Reorder locations

Grab the drag handle (grip icon) on a card and drag it to a new position. The new order is saved automatically. Reordering controls the sequence in which locations are presented, including where customers choose one.

Drag-to-reorder only works on the full, unfiltered list. If you have typed in the search box or selected the Active tile, dragging is disabled — clear the search and reset to all locations first.

Delete a location

Click the trash icon on a card. A confirmation dialog appears that previews everything that would be removed along with it — such as its datacenters, racks, and devices. Review that preview carefully and confirm only if you are sure, because deleting a location cascades to the infrastructure beneath it.

Bulk delete

1. Tick the checkbox on each location you want to remove.
2. A red Delete button appears in the page header showing the number selected.
3. Click it, review the combined preview of datacenters, racks, and devices that will be removed, and confirm.

Search

Use the search box above the grid to filter cards by location name. Searching also temporarily disables drag-to-reorder.

The Loose Items inventory

Click the amber Loose Items button in the page header to open a searchable list of spare parts and accessories stored across all your racks and client boxes — drives, network cards, cables, power supplies, and more. This is the place to answer "do we have a spare PSU anywhere?" without walking the floor.

The list opens empty and waits for you to pick a filter. Use any combination of the controls below:

Filter	Options
Location	All Locations, or a single location.
Item type	All Types, SSD, HDD, NIC, SFP/Transceiver, Cable, PSU, RAM, Fan, Riser, Rail, Caddy, or Other.
Condition	All Conditions, New, Used, Refurbished, or Faulty.
Search	Free-text match on name, serial, or model.

Each result row shows the item name, a quantity badge when more than one is held, the manufacturer and model where recorded, a badge marking whether it sits in a Rack or a Client Box, the path to where it lives (location, datacenter, rack or box), the associated customer for box items, the serial number when known, and a colour-coded condition badge.

The header count tells you how many items matched. If a filter combination returns nothing, the list shows an empty state rather than an error — widen the filters to broaden the search.

Tips and gotchas

• The Available figure on a card, and the Available Capacity tile, are the numbers to watch when deciding where to deploy new hardware — both are summed across every rack in every datacenter at that location.
• A location with no racks yet shows no capacity bar. That is expected, not a bug — add a datacenter and racks to give it capacity.
• Marking a location inactive is the safe way to take a region offline for ordering without deleting any of its underlying infrastructure.
• Deletions cascade. Always read the preview dialog before confirming a single or bulk delete.
