Overview
Location groups are folders that help you organize your locations. These groups can be flat (one level) or nested within each other to mirror your park, resort, or facility structure. Grouping your locations this way improves filtering across dashboards, reporting, and permission management.
Create a location group
Open the location groups view
Go to Location Groups in the Mobaro sidebar. You'll see a folder structure showing any existing groups in your account.
Add a new group
Click + Create Location Group at the top of the panel to create a new group.
Name your group something intuitive (e.g. "Water Park" or "Food & Beverage")
optionalAdd direct members such as users, user groups, or locations
Nest or move location groups
To nest one group within another:
Select the group you want to move
Click the move icon (folder with arrow)
Select the parent group from the list
Click Confirm
This allows you to build out a full hierarchy (e.g. Amusement Park > Rides & Attractions > Coasters).
Add members to a location group
You can add:
Users – users who should have access to or visibility of this group
User Groups – team-based access for assignment or filtering purposes
Locations – assign existing locations into this group
Note: This does not affect whether a location is active. It’s purely organizational.
Best practices
Use location groups to match your real-world zones (e.g., Park areas, Departments)
Nest deeper as needed for large operations, but avoid over-nesting where possible
Keep naming consistent across your groups and locations
Frequently asked questions
Q: Does adding a user or user group to a location group grant access to every location inside it?
A: Yes. Adding a user or user group to a location group will grant access to all location within that location group as well as any children groups of that location group.
Q: Can I move a location group without losing data?
A: Yes, moving a location group will not delete or modify any data. It only affects the group’s position within the structure. However, be aware that if you move it under a different parent group used in scheduling, it may impact existing schedules or assignments tied to the previous structure.
Q: Should I create location groups before or after importing locations?
A: Either is fine. However, having your group structure ready before importing allows for quicker sorting after upload.
