Dear TMS Users:

 

I am wondering how other institutions have dealt with locations that have changed in name only.

We have an external location that has a new name, but nothing has physically changed with the space – i.e. room numbers, etc. are the same.

 

Have you simply updated the name of the location in Location Authority?

Or did you deactivate the old location, create a new location, and then “move” all of the objects to the new location to maintain the history?

 

Thanks for your assistance!

Best,

Kathleen
