How to Organize and Manage Sites in Alocity
Sites in Alocity represent physical locations, such as buildings or offices, that house your devices. A single account can manage multiple sites, ensuring efficient administration and organization.
Important Note
Sites are not accounts. Even in large complexes or multiple locations within the same company, use one account with multiple sites to simplify management and maintain a unified user database. Separate accounts should only be created for entirely independent business units requiring distinct administration.
Renaming the Default Site
When a new account is created, a default site is automatically generated. To rename and configure it:
- Go to Settings.
- Select Sites.
- Click on Default Site from the list.
- Under Name, update the site name.
- Add a description of the site.
- Select the correct Time Zone for the site to sync device times accurately.
- Click Update.
Adding a New Site
To add more sites to your account:
- Go to Settings.
- Select Sites.
- Click on Add Site.
- Enter the site’s Name.
- Add a site description.
- Select the appropriate Time Zone.
- Click Create.
This structure ensures efficient management, allows site-specific access control, and maintains a centralized user database. For questions or assistance, contact Alocity Support or your account manager.
