# Assign ad-hoc Service Locations

The Field Service with Service Locations feature enables you to add and verify service locations on demand.

Field Service with Service Locations simplifies the process of adding locations in a work order or work order task. It enables administrators to add locations on demand that are not included in provided predefined locations. Administrators must set one of the following validation configuration options as the default to create ad hoc service locations:

-   Using map: Ability to add a location using the Google map interface.
-   Without map: Ability to add location details without a map and have them validated using the global.ServiceLocationAddressValidationExtPoint API.
-   No validation: Entered location details will not be validated.

For more information, see [Set the default validation option for service locations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/field-service-management/workforce-optimization-for-field-service/set-default-validation-option-for-service-locations.md).
