SharePoint Online Locations

Microsoft has a new feature in Sharepoint they are introducing at the end of February. 

A new column to SharePoint lists and Libraries called the Location Column.

This will be rolling out mid-February and expect to be complete by the end of the month.

So what is this?

The Location Column allows you to add rich location data from Bing Maps or your organization directory to any SharePoint list or library. You can then filter, sort, and search by any aspect of the location data such as address, city, or state. So imagine Central Florida or Orlando, Florida for instance, and being able to add an address like UCF.

What should I do to prepare for this change?

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this change.
