      By defining Precise locations, you can logically divide your organization into geographical or organizational groups. Defining locations this way can help you to isolate local performance problems and also gain a better understanding of system behavior patterns.

      Location definitions are based on the IP addresses of client machines. You can define a location that is based on one IP address or based on a range of IP addresses. Location definitions affect Insight and Precise for Web.

      The table in the Location Settings dialog box displays a list of all locations currently defined, the specific IP addresses or IP address ranges that are part of the location, and the time and date of the last update. You can only define locations for newly loaded data, not for previously loaded data.

      An activity with a specific IP address is assigned to the best-fit location. For example: Location A has an IP address range from 10.1.0.0 to 10.1.0.255 while location B is defined for IP addresses 10.1.0.77 and 10.1.0.79. In this case, an activity with the IP address 10.1.0.79 is assigned to location B, not A.

      ...

      You can add a location via the Location Settings dialog box.

      Info

      ...

      When you insert IP ranges, verify that you do not create an invalid overlap. For example: 211.2.2.2-223.0.0.0 and 222.2.2.2-224.0.0.0 overlap and create an invalid overlap. 211.2.2.2-223.0.0.0 and 223.0.0.1-224.0.0.0 or 211.2.3.3-222.1.2.9 are valid overlaps, if overlapping is checked as the selected node. If all nodes was selected, the overlapping check will be performed on all nodes.

        For example: If you define a Chicago location and all IP addresses in this location start with “10.6,” you could type the string 10.6* in the Filter box to display only IP addresses that belong to this location.
