AtoM Database: Linking Physical Locations

Hi, We are beginning our use of the AtoM database software and are looking at linking the physical locations to the records on the view page.

We have read the documentation provided by the software.It would be helpful if I could have a discussion on your best methods of linking locations and how you have set up your taxonomy.…
