So you know exactly where each objects is. However, so that the app can assign a location when scanning, you have to select the room in which you are currently located. And here is how:   1\. Open the app and **log in**   2\. **iOS**: Click on **Select location**                            **Android**: Click on **Preselection** **![](https://support.seventhings.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-23-2021-08-03-21-61-AM.png?width=307&name=image-png-Apr-23-2021-08-03-21-61-AM.png).        ![](https://support.seventhings.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-02-2021-08-08-44-85-AM.png?width=331&name=image-png-Jul-02-2021-08-08-44-85-AM.png)**   3\. Select the **location and room** in which you want to scan objects ![](https://support.seventhings.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-23-2021-08-06-21-31-AM.png?width=382&name=image-png-Apr-23-2021-08-06-21-31-AM.png) **Tip:** You also have the option to search your rooms and locations. **Note**: You can also assign a scan code to rooms and attach it to the door frame, for example. When entering the room you scan the code. This means that the app knows which room you are in - you have made a preselection. You can find more information on room labels **[here.](https://support.seventhings.com/en/how-do-i-use-room-labels?hsLang=en)**   **Important:** If you cannot find your desired location or room, you may not have the permission to access them. Please contact your system admin. You can find out more about the permission module **[here](https://support.seventhings.com/en/how-can-i-assign-users-permission-to-access-certain-rooms-and-locations?hsLang=en)**.   - [FAQ's](https://support.seventhings.com/migration/en/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) -
