# How to Add Locations
**Overview**
Locations allow you to map your organization's physical structure, such as countries, states, cities, and specific office buildings. BoolDesk supports a hierarchical (parent-child) structure, meaning you can nest "Austin" under "Texas," and "Texas" under "United States." This helps in filtering tickets, assets, and reports by region.
#### **Step-by-Step Guide**
**1. Navigate to Location Settings**
Access the location management section from the general settings.
* From the main menu, go to Settings (1).
* Under the `General` section (2), click on Location (3).
* Click the Add Location button (4) in the top right corner.
**2. Configure Location Details**
In the pop-up window, define the new location.
* Name: Enter the name of the location (e.g., `United States` or `Austin`).
* Parent: Select a parent location from the dropdown menu to create a hierarchy.
* Select None if this is a top-level location (like a Country).
* Select an existing location (e.g., `Texas`) if you are adding a city or office within that region.
* Click Save to add the location to your structure.
