Overview

The Sites feature allows the definition of geographic-based assets, such as Main Campus, Building 7, or Oil Rig 1. Groups of users can then be associated with each of these Sites. Once a Site is created and Group(s) associated with it, when a geographic area is selected for a Notification in the Map Selector tab all the Sites located within the geographic area selected will be included in the Notification’s recipients.

Prerequisites

Site management requires that you have an Administrator account or be a Team Leader.

Administrators can:

• Manage all sites on all teams.
• Within a team context, associate any group to a site.
• Designate any site as Shared with Global.

Team Leaders can:

• Manage sites only for their direct team(s).
• Associate only groups that belong to their direct team(s).
