Add Location

'Add Location' Area

When you are ready to Add a new Location then enter the appropriate information in the 'Add Location' Area.

You will notice several field boxes for you to enter information in.

Click on any link below to learn more about each field box:

_______________________________________________________________________

LOCATION NAME

Start by assigning a Location Name to the Location.

•

Use a name that will distinguish it from the rest of your Locations. Instead of just naming a Location "555 Main Street" - try being specific by describing the place you are entering (i.e. "Talent West Agency", "Cast Coast Studios", "Corkie's Casting", etc.). Doing this will help you better identify your Locations as your List grows.

_______________________________________________________________________

ADDRESS (1)

Yup, this is a field box to place the first line of the address.

_______________________________________________________________________

ADDRESS (2)

You guessed it...this is a field box to place the second line of the address.

_______________________________________________________________________

CITY

The City drop down menu will memorize the Cities you enter. This will make for faster logging of Addresses in the future!

ADD BUTTON

To add a new City simply click the Add Button. This will launch the Add City pop-up window.

•	CITY ABBREVIATIONS - Do NOT abbreviate Cities! For example: GOOD = Los Angeles BAD = LA GOOD = New York BAD = NY Why? Because we want the Map It feature to work properly for you - it relies on the full City name.

_______________________________________________________________________

STATE / REGION

The State/Region drop down menu will memorize the States/Regions you enter. This will make for faster logging of Addresses in the future!

ADD BUTTON

To add a new State/Region simply click the Add Button. This will launch the Add State/Region pop-up window.

•	STATES: You can abbreviate States if you like - it's your choice! For example: GOOD = California GOOD = CA GOOD = New York GOOD = NY

_______________________________________________________________________

ZIP / POSTAL CODE

90210 isn't just a show - it's a Zip/Postal Code (...it's Beverly Hills, CA in case you were wondering...)!

Where ever the place may be - be sure to enter the Zip/Postal Code!

_______________________________________________________________________

COUNTRY

Select the proper Country from the drop down menu.

_______________________________________________________________________

TELEPHONE

Enter the primary Phone Number for this Location. The Phone Number you enter could definitely come in handy in case you find yourself running late and need to call the Location to let them know you are on your way.

_______________________________________________________________________

WEB SITE

If the Location has a Web Site enter it in the field box.

WEB LINK BUTTON

Once you have added the Web Site Address simply click on the Web Link Button to launch a Web browser window open to that Location's Web site.

_______________________________________________________________________

PARKING SITUATION

If you are unfamiliar with the appointment's Location make sure you ask what the Parking Situation is like there.

Nothing is worse then arriving to your appointment and realizing that you don't have any change for the Parking Meter! The Parking Situation drop down menu will help remind you if you need money on hand when you make future trips to this same Location.

_______________________________________________________________________

ROUND TRIP (MI/KM)

You may want to take note and jot down how many miles/kilometers the Round Trip is to this Location from your Default Address (see Top Toolbar > My Account > Preference > Mapping). This is helpful to refer to when entering Mileage (Mi/Km) into your Expenses section.

•

When you utilize Online Driving Directions a smart idea is to take the calculated Distance that is given for the "Starting From" to "Arriving At" points, then multiply it by two. This will give you the Round Trip mileage! Enter this in the Round Trip (Mi/Km) area for future reference. Also, this is the mileage you will want to enter into your Expenses section if your trip to the Location was business-related.

•	Depending on the laws in your city, state/province and/or country, the mileage you drive for business-related reasons may be eligible for a tax deduction. Consult a Certified Public Accountant or Federal Tax Guide to find out what you may be eligible for.

_______________________________________________________________________

CROSS STREET

This street...intersects that street.

This avenue...crosses that avenue

This boulevard...connects to that boulevard.

Whatever the case may be, having a Cross Street can prove valuable when getting lost and trying to get your bearings straight!

_______________________________________________________________________

DIRECTIONS

Here are a few different ways you can enter the Directions:

•	Manually Type into the field box the Directions to this Location.

•	Go to an online mapping service (i.e. Yahoo! Maps, Rand McNally, HopStop, etc.) and copy the directions from their Web site and paste them into the field box.

•	Use one-click access to Microsoft's® Virtual Earth™ Driving Directions in the Location Details window! The Map It! feature automatically launches Microsoft's® Virtual Earth™ Driving Directions starting from your Default Address (see Top Toolbar > My Account > Preference > Mapping) to the Location.
