Searching for locations

When searching for locations, you have two options to streamline your results:

1. Search Within Added Locations
   • This option narrows down results to only include existing locations in your list.
2. Search Within New Locations
   •  This option broadens the search to include options not present in your existing locations.

1. Go to Locations.
2. Click on the dropdown arrow on the search bar.
3. Select whether you wish to search for New locations or Added locations.
4. If no selection is made, the search results will include both added and new locations, with added locations listed at the top and new locations at the bottom.
5. Enter the name of an added/new location in the search field.
