Regions, Locations and Workplaces
Regions, Locations and Workplaces are all linked together to form financial trading zones to where you hold your Events.
Region
Administrate uses Regions to create financial zones that you trade in. Regions need not be geographical. By using Regions, you can sell the same product in multiple financial zones for different prices and in different currencies. You are able to map countries and Locations to Regions to help define them.
For Example:
- You sell Courses and Items in the UK, France, Spain and Germany.
- UK sales are in GBP, whereas sales in France, Spain and Germany are in EUR.
- Thus, you’d need 2 Regions, ‘United Kingdom’ and ‘Eurozone’.
- The Course delivered is the same yet you need to charge either £100 or €120.
- Using the 2 Regions, you can add these values to the Course Pricing
- The Item delivered is the same yet you need to charge either £10 or €12.
- Using Regions, you can add these values to the Items Screen.
When a student is added to an Event, the registration price and currency are taken from that Region. When an Invoice is created, the Region and currency of the registration are respected, as will any further items added to that Invoice.
All reports within Administrate can be filtered by Region, allowing you to see Opportunities, Events, and Financials broken down by the Regions you operate in.

Locations
Administrate stores a list of Locations that are used when creating Events. Once Locations have been added, they’ll be available when creating Events. Locations are linked to Regions. Therefore, when creating a Public Event, Administrate will know which price to charge each student, based on the Price added to the Region. A Region can have multiple Locations, but a Location may only belong to a single Region.
When naming the Location, this can be non-descript: it can be the name of a town/city or the name of a building. All Location fields are available as merge fields when sending Communication Triggers. So you can use the Location Description to hold additional information such as directions and car parking arrangements. Using the Location merge fields, these details will then be displayed on the email sent by the Communication Trigger.

- Click Create Location.
- Enter the details of the Location, as follows:
- Name: the name of your training location; generally the official name to be used in communications
