What Are Locations?
A location represents a physical space where operations happen. Zeltask uses locations as a reference point for inspections, actions, tickets, and asset management, helping teams know exactly where tasks need to be performed.
Why Locations Matter
Manufacturing and food & beverage operations involve many distinct areas — production floors, storage rooms, utilities spaces, and more. Centralizing location information in Zeltask provides:
- Clear task assignment: Teams know exactly where to go
- Operational traceability: Track what happens in each area
- Asset organization: See all equipment installed at each location
- Faster response: Create actions or tickets directly from a location via QR code
- Better reporting: Filter and analyze data by area
Examples of Locations
| Area Type | Example Locations |
|---|---|
| Production | Production Hall A, Packaging Line 1, Mixing Room |
| Storage | Cold Storage, Dry Goods Warehouse, Finished Products |
| Sanitation | Sanitization Area, Washing Station, CIP Room |
| Utilities | Utilities Room, Compressor Room, Electrical Panel Area |
| Support | Maintenance Workshop, Quality Lab, Loading Dock |
What You Can Do with Locations
Link to Other Modules
Locations connect to other parts of Zeltask:
- Assets: Assign equipment to locations to track where it's installed
- Actions: Specify where tasks should be performed
- Inspections: Reference locations in inspection templates
- Tickets: Report issues tied to specific areas
Use QR Codes
Each location generates a unique QR code. When scanned:
- Create a ticket associated with that location
- Create an action associated with that location
- View all assets at that location
- Access the location's detail view
This allows teams to take action directly from the physical space.
Collaborate with Comments
Leave notes and observations on locations:
- Document conditions or issues
- Share information with colleagues
- Follow conversations to receive notifications
Location Information
Each location record includes:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name | Identify the physical space |
| Description | Additional context about the area |
| Media | Photos or videos for visual identification |
| Files | Documents like floor plans, procedures, or safety information |
