A site is a physical place — an office, warehouse, or data centre — that belongs to a customer. Sites help you organise devices by where they physically are.

When to use sites

Use sites when a customer has:

  • Multiple offices or branches
  • A server room separate from the main office
  • Devices spread across different cities or countries

Before you start

You need the Customer Management permission — without it, the Customers pages are not visible.

Steps

  1. Go to Customers and open the customer you want to add a site to.
  2. Click Edit Customer to switch to edit mode (the Sites section only appears on the edit page, not on the read-only detail view).
  3. Scroll to the Sites section.
  4. Click Add Site.
The Contoso Ltd Edit Customer page scrolled to the Sites section, which lists three named site rows (Head Office, Branch Office, Warehouse) each with a remove (×) control under a Name column, and a red-outlined Add Site button below them; the Contact Person section and a red Danger Zone with a Delete button are also visible.
  1. Fill in the site name.
  2. Click Save at the top of the page (or press Ctrl+S / Cmd+S).

The site is created and you can assign devices to it during agent deployment.

Alternative: from device assignment

You can also create a new site while assigning a device to a customer. When the Assign Customer dialog is open, the site picker always renders an Add site button for users with the Customer Management permission. The button is disabled until you pick a customer, then becomes active and opens a small dialog where you can name the new site and create it inline. The new site is pre-selected as the device's site after creation — no need to leave the assignment flow. Without the Customer Management permission, the Add site button is not shown — in that case, ask a colleague or admin with that permission to create the site for you.
