# Location types

> The vocabulary a location tree is built from, and which sites actually use each rung.

Building, floor, room, bay — the rungs a [location tree](/sites/detail) is built from, shared across
every site.

## Why one list

A site describes itself once, in the words that fit its own plant — buildings, floors and production
lines at one site, floors and rooms at the depot next door — and both draw from this same list.
Locations themselves are not managed here: a location doesn't exist apart from its site, so it's
added on the site's own screen. This is only the vocabulary.

## Columns

| Column | Notes |
| - | - |
| **Type** | Name and code |
| **Depth** | A hint about how far down the tree a rung usually sits — building is 1, floor is 2, room is 3. It sorts the list and offers a sensible next type in a picker; it enforces nothing |
| **Used at** | Which sites actually have a location carrying this type — read from the locations themselves, not from a list anybody ticked |
| **Locations** | How many locations carry this type, across every site |
| **Active** | Retiring a type stops it being offered on new locations without touching existing ones |

## Adding a type

**New type**, with a name, a code and an optional depth hint.
