Zoho Mail: Improve Team Visibility with Locations in the Admin Console

Hello Everyone

As organizations grow and teams spread across different cities or countries, keeping everything organized becomes more important.

For administrators, knowing where each user is located helps in better management and smoother operations.

The Locations feature in Zoho Mail helps you group users based on their office or work location, making it easier to manage distributed teams.

What is the Locations Feature?  

The Locations feature in Zoho Mail Admin Console allows admins to add and manage different office locations of their organization.

Once locations are created, they can be assigned to users, so you can easily see where each employee is working from.

Only Super Admins and Admins can create and assign locations.

Key Use Cases  

  1. Branch Management
    You can add details like office name, address, and time zone to keep a clear record of all your locations.
  2. User Assignment
    Locations can be linked to individual users, helping you quickly identify where each team member is based.
  3. Accurate Time Zones
    Each location can have its own time zone, which helps in better scheduling and communication across teams.
  4. Bulk Updates
  5. You can select multiple users and update their location at once, which is useful during team changes or restructuring.

Why It Matters for Admins  

  1. Better Visibility
    Admins get a clear view of where employees are located, which is useful for reporting and management.
  2. Easy to Scale
    As your organization grows, you can add new locations anytime without affecting existing data.
  3. Flexible Changes
    User locations can be updated anytime, making it easy to handle transfers or office changes.

Follow these simple steps to create a new location:

  1. Log in to Zoho Mail Admin Console

  2. Go to the Organization section

  3. Open the Locations tab
