# Location ### Overview Highlight's Network Explorer tree comprises folders and locations. All watches must exist in a location. Only those with the permission **Manage folders/locations** will be able to complete these steps. ### Create location On the Admin page, select the containing or parent folder and click "+". From the "Create new\..." slide-in panel, choose "Create a new location" and complete these fields:


Location name	Enter the location name, which may contain spaces and does not need to be unique. Maximum length 100 characters.
Time zone	The default is inherited from the parent folder. Use the drop-down to change the country/time zone for this location. See the Time zone section for more details.
Site availability	SLA target %. An optional field, used in Reporting to compare actual site availability with this SLA. Enter a number between 0 and 100 with up to 3 decimal places, such as 99.999.
Save	Store all details

### Edit location - Main

Click on the cog to edit a location. See the [Create location](#create-location) section above for an explanation of the fields. Additional options on edit are:


Site availability	If SLA Now is disabled on the Features area of a parent folder, then this field will not be available to edit.
Alerting Thresholds	Set thresholds for WiFi, Bearers, Classes and Broadband. See the Alerting Thresholds page for further details
Delete	A recursive delete - see a confirmation message indicating all that will be deleted
Save	Stores details for all sections

### Edit location - Main for Autodiscovered locations

If **Auto create locations** is checked on the controller, then on save, locations are automatically created in the current folder based on location information in the controller. Each location is assigned an autodiscovered name and discovered devices and watches are placed in the correct location. **Autodiscovered name** is auto-generated on creation of an SD-WAN controller. Autodiscovered name cannot be changed in Highlight. Autodiscovered names differ for supported vendors and use the following information: * **Cisco Meraki:** Network name (these update if changed in the Meraki dashboard) * **Cisco Catalyst:** "Site " followed by the Site ID * **Fortinet:** Device name **Location name** initially matches the autodiscovered name but can be changed. The location name displays everywhere in Highlight instead of the autodiscovered name if it has been changed. Use the revert arrow to revert the location name to the autodiscovered name. ### Edit location - Business Hours Highlight uses business hours when displaying traffic trend graphics, for filtering report results, and when generating alerts. See the [Business Hours](/admin/admin-general-details/business-hours.md#overview) page for further details on the settings involved. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
