# Define Location

Define a geographic location to provide more context to other STIX Domain Objects \(SDOs\).

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_sec\_tisc.analyst

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Threat Intelligence Security Center**.

2.  Click on **Threat Intel Library** icon on the workspace.

3.  Go to **Location** object.

4.  Click **New**.

    **Note:** Whenever you create new object records for observables, indicators, entities or objects a source record is created and a prompt message is displayed that the new object record is created and then the user is redirected to the aggregated record.

5.  On the form, fill in the fields

<table id="table_wtw_tcd_nyb"><thead><tr><th>

Field

</td></tr><tr><td>

Name

</td><td>

Enter a descriptive name to identify the location.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Description

</td><td>

</td></tr><tr><td>

Source

</td><td>

Specifies the threat source from which this object record is created.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Revoked

</td><td>

Indicates that the revoked objects are no longer considered valid by the object creator.

</table>6.  Click **Save**.

    After you save, a prompt message is displayed indicating that A new observable record is created. Click **Continue** to edit the record and create new relationships.

7.  Click **Continue**.

    **Important:** After you create a new observable record, **Prevent System Updates** check box is displayed.

    Select this check box to prevent any updates from the system after the observable or indicator or STIX objects records are created.

    |Tags|
    |Select Tags|Select the tags that are associated with the location.|
    |Add Tags|Add new tags.|
    |Taxonomies|
    |Select Taxonomy|Select a Taxonomy that is associated with this location.|
    |Add Taxonomy Values|Add Taxonomy values that are associated with this location.|

8.  If you want to delete any record then, select **Delete** to delete the aggregated record.

    When you select this action, then it will remove all the related records, except the original source data, and trigger re aggregation.

    **Note:** A confirmation message will appear to verify that you want to delete the aggregated record. If you also want to delete the source records and prevent re aggregation, select the **Delete Source Records** check box. This action will remove all the associated source records.

**Note:**

1.  You can link and unlink the related records associated with this object. For more information, see [Link Threat Intel Related Records](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/threat-intelligence-security-center/link-threat-intel-releated-records.md).
2.  The various SDOs within the TI library also contains the potential relationships. To establish a relationships between any two objects, you use the **Potential Relationships** link from the **Threat Intel Library** to confirm the relationships between the objects. For more information, see [Confirm object-object potential relationships](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/threat-intelligence-security-center/define-object-object-potential-relationships.md).
3.  Also, use the **Related Records** section from the objects form view to confirm the relationships between two Objects using the **Potential Relationships** section available on the form view. For more information on see, [Confirm Potential Relationships from Related Records](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/threat-intelligence-security-center/confirm-potential-relationships.md).
4.  You can add objects to cases. For more information, see [Add to Case](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/threat-intelligence-security-center/add-to-case.md).
