Locations Spreadsheet
When you open the Locations.xls file, you will see that it contains two worksheets,
corresponding to the Locations and Version tabs at the bottom of the Excel window. The
Locations worksheet contains data describing each of the remote locations that are part of
your iControl Edge system. The Version worksheet determines how the Devices spreadsheets
will be parsed throughout the system.
