Locations can now carry their own Info & Resources — the same Resources and Categories system used elsewhere in UnionConnect — plus their own News Items and Events. This lets you publish documents, links, and announcements that are specific to a single worksite or office.
Note: Location Info & Resources is turned on per-local by UnionConnect, and it defaults to off. Keep it off until your members are on a mobile build that supports location resources — then ask support to enable it.
What a Location can hold
When the feature is on, each location’s row menu (and the sidebar tree) gains these entries:
- Directories
- News Items — a news/article feed scoped to that location.
- Events — an events feed scoped to that location.
- Info & Resources — Resources and Categories attached to that location.
This applies both to union-wide locations (locations owned directly by your local) and to locations nested under a bargaining unit.
Adding Info & Resources to a Location
- Log in to the app manager.
- Open the location (from the sidebar tree, or its row menu → View).
- Click Info & Resources for that location.
- Add and organize Resources and Categories exactly as you would for a bargaining unit — see Info & Resources.
Sharing one Resource or Category across locations
Resources and Categories can be attached to more than one place. When you open Manage Coverage for a Resource or Category, you’ll now see a Locations tab (alongside Locals, Bargaining units, and Categories). Tick the locations you want the item to appear under and save. The same item can cover several locations, bargaining units, and locals at once.
The Locations tab only appears while the feature is enabled. If it’s later turned off, any location coverage you set up is kept — it just becomes invisible until the feature is turned back on. Nothing is deleted.
News and Events for Locations
Click a location’s News Items or Events to manage a feed that belongs to just that location. Members who follow or belong to the location see this content in the app. Create, edit, and delete entries the same way you do for a bargaining unit.
How this differs from bargaining-unit Info & Resources
- It must be enabled first. Bargaining-unit Info & Resources is always available; location Info & Resources is gated behind the per-local feature flag described above.
- Mobile build matters. Members need an app version that understands location-targeted content, which is why the feature ships off by default.
- Sublocations are not included. Only locations get their own Info & Resources menu entries; sublocations don’t.
