re. Device Locations, putting a forward slash in the Location string will Group By each sub-string - effectively creating a folders hierarchy. So for example a Location of "UK/London/WhitSt/2nd Floor" will give you a folder hierarchy with UK as the top level, London as the next level etc which makes it easier to target your searches.
