Description :
The component back end allows the entry of locations. Also assigning users to a location is done in the back end.
Users that are not assigned a location do not show up in the User Status Screen.
After creating locations and assigning users you may view their status from the front end.
Create a menu selection with user User Status component.
There is a separate module to allow users to update their status.
Another module, "Refresh Page" makes sure that the user status screen accurately reflects users status.
A User's status must be updated to change, it will not expire with the user session.
