Locations and location groups are how you organize your business in Opus — and they quietly power two of the most important things you do: assigning the right training to the right people, and rolling reporting up the way your business is actually structured.
Every Trainee belongs to a location (they're tied to one when they sign up via its link or QR code). From there, you can group locations into Regions, Brands, and Franchises so you can assign training and view results across many sites at once.
Here's how each one works:
Location — a single physical site. Every Trainee belongs to one.
Region — a group of locations, often used for geographic areas.
Brand — a group of locations that also carries a logo and color, so the app reflects that brand's look.
Franchise — a group of locations, ideal for franchisee-owned sites.
💡 Regions, Brands, and Franchises each live under the People section, and they're created the same way. Pick whichever matches how your business is organized.

FAQ
What's the difference between a Region, a Brand, and a Franchise?
All three group locations together for assignment and reporting — pick whichever matches how your business is organized. Brands also carry a logo and color to brand the app experience.
Do I have to assign a location to a group?
No. Groups are optional — a location works on its own. Add it to a Region, Brand, or Franchise whenever you're ready.
