Define a location hierarchy for your Telecommunications Network Inventory forms
so that you can track and manage your network assets. By defining a location hierarchy, you
can see where all your network equipment is located.

## Before you begin

* Role required: admin, sn_ni_core.inventory_admin
* To establish locations hierarchy, ensure to:
  1. Create the top-level locations that contain the subordinate locations. For example, in the locations hierarchy, create <kbd class="ph userinput">Americas</kbd> first. Leave the Parent field empty.
  2. Create a regional location and in the Parent field, select the top-level location as its parent. For example, in the locations hierarchy, create <kbd class="ph userinput">North America</kbd> and then select <kbd class="ph userinput">Americas</kbd> as its parent.
  3. In the Locations section at the bottom of the form, click New and create the location records for each lower-level child location that are subordinate to that regional location.

## About this task

A location record must contain at least one of the following properties or sets of properties:

* Address
* Country
* Region
* Latitude and Longitude
{#define-tni-locations__ul_fc5_ttr_5mb}

By using this form, you can construct a location hierarchy. For example, the following example shows a typical location hierarchy that appears when you search for a location in the
Location field in the Network Site form.
