Footprint: the full list of your locations

What Footprint shows

Footprint is the plain list of every physical location your business runs out of: offices, warehouses, equipment yards, truck hubs, storage units, branches, or anything mixed-use. It is the first of five tabs on the Facilities card slider, and it is the one place you can see your whole physical operation on one screen, name, type, ownership, address, size, and status, side by side.

Verinode does not create this list for you. It reads the facilities you add manually, plus anything a lease or invoice document identifies as a location once your document ingestion picks it up, and lays them out as a straight, sortable record. You decide what to add, edit, or retire.

Where to find it

Open Facilities from the sidebar, under the Operations group, at /facilities. The Facilities page opens on a card slider with five tabs across the top: Footprint, Leases, Compliance, Consumables, Costs. Footprint is the default tab, so it is what you land on. Click any other tab to switch context, or scroll the deck horizontally, the slider remembers which tab you were on if you navigate away and come back.

The Footprint table

Header line. Above the table, a line of muted text reads the count, for example "4 locations on file. Click a row to open the facility profile." (a single facility reads "1 location on file"). This is your total, not a filtered count, Footprint always shows every active facility you have on record.

Columns, left to right:

• Name. The facility's name as you entered it, in bold. If you added a note in the facility's "primary use" field (what the location is actually used for day to day), a short truncated line of that note appears underneath the name in smaller, muted text.
• Type. One of: Office, Warehouse, Equipment Yard, Truck Hub, Storage Unit, Branch, Mixed-use, or a free-text label you typed in when you picked Other at setup (Other only shows your custom label if you supplied one; otherwise it reads "Other").
• Ownership. Owned, Leased, Rented, or Subleased. This tells you at a glance which locations carry a lease obligation worth checking on the Leases tab and which are outright owned.
• Address. A single-line combination of street address, city, and state, joined with commas. If none of those three fields have been filled in yet, the cell shows a dash.
• Sqft. Square footage, right-aligned, formatted with thousands separators (for example "12,500"). A dash means square footage has not been entered for that facility yet, it is optional at setup and can be added later from the facility profile.
• Status. Active, Inactive, Under Renovation, Exiting, or Exited. Active is the default for any newly added facility. Exiting and Exited reflect a facility moving through the decommissioning workflow, once a facility is fully exited and its record is archived, it drops off this list.

How it sorts

Footprint is not a click-to-sort table, there are no clickable column headers here. The row order is alphabetical by facility name, A to Z, set by how the list is loaded. If you want a particular location near the top, naming it accordingly (for example prefixing regional hubs) is the practical lever, there is no manual drag-reorder or saved sort preference on this tab.

If you are looking for a different sort angle, deadline-driven or dollar-driven, check the other four tabs: Leases sorts by notice deadline (soonest first), Compliance groups by urgency (Overdue, Due in 30 days, Scheduled, Completed), and Costs lists every recurring cost with a running monthly total. Footprint's job is the inventory view, not the urgency view.

Clicking into a facility

Click anywhere on a row and Footprint drills into that facility's own profile, in place, on the same card. This is the same drill-in pattern used across the platform: the row's data hands off directly into a facility detail view built around that location, no separate page load, no modal stacked on top of the slider.

The facility profile that opens shows:

• A header naming the facility, its type, and its address, with quick stats for square footage, ownership, and status carried over from the row you clicked.
• Five sections you can move between: Overview, Lease, Compliance, Consumables, and Costs, mirroring the five Facilities tabs but scoped to that one location. This is where you add or edit lease terms, log a compliance event, adjust consumable stock, or record a recurring cost for that specific address, none of that detail editing happens from the Footprint table itself.

To back out of the facility profile and return to the Footprint list, use the slider's own back navigation, the deck returns to exactly where you left it.

Adding a facility

Footprint has no add button of its own. New facilities are added from the + Add Facility control in the Facilities page header, above the slider. At minimum you supply a name, a facility type, and an ownership type, everything else, address, square footage, primary-use notes, can be filled in immediately or left for later from the facility's own profile. A facility typed as Other requires a short custom label describing what kind of location it is; without one, Verinode will not save the record.

Some facilities also appear because a lease or invoice document you forwarded identified a new location during ingestion, in that case the record appears on Footprint automatically with a source note, rather than through the manual Add Facility flow.

Empty state

If you have not added any facilities yet, Footprint shows: "No facilities yet. Use "+ Add Facility" in the page header to capture your first office, warehouse, equipment yard, or truck hub." There is nothing to click and nothing to sort until at least one facility is on record. Once you add your first location, the table renders immediately, no page reload required.

Best-practice example

If you run three branches and a shared equipment yard, add all four as facilities with real names ("North Branch," "Equipment Yard," and so on) rather than leaving generic defaults, since the name is the first thing you and your team scan on this table and the only thing Footprint currently sorts by. Fill in square footage and address as you go, even if ownership and lease details come later, so the Footprint list reads as a complete map of your physical operation the moment someone opens /facilities.
