Locations
Vision is location based and the foundation for every piece in the system. An address only exists once and it does not allow duplicates such as ‘Rd and Road’. All other resources are layered on top of a specific location. Vision utilizes Google and the United States Postal Service database to verify exact rooftop address locations. It is important to know where service is being delivered to ensure accurate tax reporting and regulatory compliance. On the Locations page administrators are allowed to view, edit, and add service addresses stored within your database.
Locations are automatically sorted by the created date to show the most recent additions first.
