Add a location

Enter your Google Geocoder API key

It is important to enter your own Google API key in your Sandbox (and Production) environments so your maps load correctly on your Location Finder page.

1. Purchase a key by visiting the Google Maps Platform page and clicking Get Started. Enable the Javascript API and Geocoding API in the Google Cloud Platform Console under your API key to avoid issues with maps loading correctly on the Location Finder page.
2. Log into the Admin Console and go to Administration > System > Settings > Site Configurations.
3. Scroll down to the Geocoding section and enter your key in the Google Geocoder API Key field. Scroll to the General section and enter your key in the Google API Key field.
4. Click Save.

Fill-in location settings

1. Log into the Admin Console and go to Administration > System> Settings > Site Configurations.
