📍 Locations

✨ What It Does

Locations is a memory book for the spots that matter—favorite cafés, client offices, gyms. It shows when you were last there, lets you tag who’s connected to the place, and gives you a fast way to record the next visit so nothing slips through the cracks.

🚪 Access & Activation

Enable Locations from Settings → Features → Locations. See the Enabling Features guide for details on feature toggles and visibility options.

🧭 Core Workflow

• Open the Locations page to see every place grouped by how recently you were there (Today, Yesterday, last 7 days, and so on down to Never Visited).
• Use the search bar (desktop) or the sticky header (mobile) to filter by name when the list gets long.
• Click New Location (desktop) or the floating ＋ button (mobile) to add a place. Give it a name, emoji, optional address and note, and you’re set.
• Select any card to open a details modal with the last visit timestamp and quick edit options.
• Log a visit right from the card menu: Log Today, Log Yesterday, or Log Visit (which opens the Activity Log form if you need notes or to attach multiple locations at once).

🛠️ In-Feature Settings

• The creation form supports:
  • Emoji + name (required) so cards are easy to scan.
  • Contact links—attach one or more contacts to note who you usually meet there.
  • Address and free-form notes for context like door codes.
  • Parent location when you want a hierarchy (e.g., “HQ → Board Room”).
• Edit or delete a place from the entity menu on the card or in the details modal.

🔐 Global Settings & Privacy

• Visit logging runs through Activity Logs, so sharing and privacy follow the same rules—you decide when to share a log and timelines stay untouched until you do.

📊 Widgets & Dashboards

• Visits surface in Activity widgets because they’re logged through Activity Logs.

🏆 Timeline & Points

• Visits are stored as Activity Logs, award +1 leaderboard point (Activity log in the point system), and update your recency view while leaving timelines untouched.

🔗 Integrations & Dependencies

• Activity Logs can reference multiple locations in one entry, so a single visit can update several cards at once.
• Trips can link to locations (the Prisma model associates them), making it easier to reuse destinations when planning travel.
• Linked contacts gain extra context—when you view a contact, the Activity Log list can show joint visits because both the location and the contact are attached to the same log.

💡 Tips & Edge Cases

• Use parent locations to group rooms or buildings; the form prevents loops, so you can safely build multi-level hierarchies.
• When you’re logging a visit manually, include notes in the Activity Log so the Location details modal shows richer history.
• If you manage a recurring route, log the visit from the card menu on mobile—the Log Today/Yesterday quick actions run instantly and keep your recency groups accurate.
