G Suite: Easily enter the locations of buildings into the Admin console

What's changed?

You can also enter addresses instead of coordinates (latitude and longitude), to locate your office in the Admin console. This is a much more efficient and reliable way for you, as a G Suite Admin, to be able to manage international office locations.

Who is the influence?

Admins only

Why you’d use it

When you add location information, the system will immediately automatically adjust the accuracy of the room and time zone based on your office address. This ensures that you have accurate data in your room's dashboard. In addition, with this change, Google will automatically set the correct time zone for all resources in the office and help ensure you see the correct time of day usage on the detailed dashboard. of the room.

In the future, this information will be the premise to provide other smart features such as:

• Adjust time zones automatically when you work in different offices.
• Precise navigation from Calendar.
• Recommend meeting rooms in nearby buildings.

How to get started

For administrators: there are 3 ways to enter information:

1. Import directly from the Admin console: In the Admin Console, select Manage Resource -> Manage Buildings, you can enter the address directly and display it on Google Maps API to confirm location. It is recommended to import a small number of buildings at a time.
2. Bulk upload via CSV files: This is also in the Admin Console, select Manage Resource -> Manage Buildings. Bulk upload spreadsheets support the same address format, so you can verify your location in multiple countries and area.
3. Upload via build resource API

For end users: no effect on end users.
