How to Use the iMonnit Locations Feature

In the navigation menu, a new section is available—Locations. The feature will replace Networks for most users.

Note: Accounts with multiple networks will still see Networks; however, a new limit on network creation is five.

Accounts with only a single network will not see the Networks section in the navigation menu.

The Locations feature represents an upgrade in user security and access. It also allows you to generate **Sub-Accounts **to manage growth better.

This article will guide you in using Locations and creating Sub-Accounts.

The shape displayed indicates the account type.
