You can use locations to track and manage information about the work addresses used in your ChartHop organization.

:::hint{type="warning"}
Locations are required for ChartHop's Map page.  You must ensure that all of your locations contain both a **City** and a **Country**.

## Creating locations

Like other Groups in ChartHop, you can create locations individually under the Locations tab in ChartHop, or in bulk using the spreadsheet import tool.

## Configuring locations 

After importing or creating locations in ChartHop, you can include details such as address information, images, and other unique identifiers.

## Syncing location data

When you sync location data between your HRIS to ChartHop, make sure you use the exact same location names in both systems. Also, if your HRIS uses numbers or codes for locations, you can add these to ChartHop using **Aliases** so they match.
