Site Management

How to Organize and Manage Sites in Alocity

Sites in Alocity represent physical locations, such as buildings or offices, where your devices are installed. A single account can manage multiple sites, ensuring efficient administration and centralized user access management.

Important Note

Sites are not accounts. Even for large building complexes or multiple locations within the same company, use one account with multiple sites instead of creating separate accounts. This allows for better management, site-specific access control, and a unified user database. Separate accounts should only be created for fully independent business units that require distinct administration.

Managing Site Information

You can update the site’s address, time zone, and description as needed.

Updating Site Information

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Sites.
3. Click on the site you want to update.
4. Modify the Name, Description, Address, City, State, Country, and Postal Code fields as needed.
5. Adjust the Time Zone to ensure devices sync correctly.
6. Click Update to save changes.

Adding a New Site

To add additional sites under your account:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Sites.
3. Click Add Site.
4. Enter the Name of the site.

7. Click Create.

Managing Zones

Zones allow further segmentation within a site, grouping devices into specific areas for better organization.

Adding a Zone to a Site

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Sites.
3. Click on the site you want to add a zone to.
4. Scroll down to the Zones section.
5. Click Add New Zone.
6. Enter the Zone Name and Description.
7. Click Save to finalize the new zone.

By properly structuring your sites and zones, you can streamline access control and ensure efficient device management. If you have any questions or need assistance, contact Alocity Support or your account manager.
