Adding Locations to Zones

Because viewLinc recognizes Devices regardless of their assigned
Zone, Devices and Channels can be moved from one Zone to
another, without losing any data history.

For example, if you need to move a monitored refrigeration unit to
another physical location, in viewLinc, simply move the Device
Location data point to a different refrigeration Zone.

Note: Channels can only be linked to one Location at a time.
