Adding Facilities

Facilities are at the heart of how FastQuery organizes your business. Each facility represents a place — a store, warehouse, or headquarters — where your team works and tracks inventory.

Why Facilities Matter

Facilities determine what inventory and data your team sees in FastQuery. When a user is assigned to a facility, they’ll see the products, stock levels, and information relevant to that specific place.

Adding Your First Facility

After setting up your organization, you’ll be prompted to add your facilities. For each one, you’ll enter:

• Facility ID — A short, unique identifier (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores). For example, downtown or east-side.
• Facility name — A friendly display name like “Downtown Store” or “East Side.”
• Address — The full street address, including city, state, and zip code.

Adding Multiple Facilities at Once

If you have several facilities to add, you don’t have to enter them one by one. FastQuery includes a bulk data grid that lets you add them all at once — just fill in the rows like a spreadsheet.

This is especially handy if you’re managing a chain of stores.

Managing Facilities Later

You can always come back and add, edit, or remove facilities after the initial setup. Head to your organization settings to make changes.

Tips

• Be descriptive with names — If you have multiple stores, use names that are easy to tell apart (like city names or street names).
• Keep Facility IDs simple — Short, lowercase IDs like downtown or north-store work best.
• Double-check addresses — Accurate addresses help keep your data organized.
• Start with your main facilities and add others as needed. You’re not locked in.
