Sites
A site is a collection of devices, usually grouped by project. Everything you configure for a group of devices — who can reach them, what they do, and when — lives at site level.
Your sites
Sites is where you land when you sign in, and it lists every site you belong to. A site you have just been invited to appears here as soon as you accept.
The status cards
Two cards sit above the list and summarise everything in it at once, so you can see whether anything needs attention before opening a single site.
Site Status counts your sites by state:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Active | A live site with a current subscription |
| Construction | Being commissioned, and not yet counted as live |
| Demo | A demonstration site |
| Suspended | Access withdrawn — see Subscription |
Device Status counts the devices across all of those sites, so a single offline device is visible without opening the site that holds it. Both cards collapse, and stay collapsed the next time you sign in.
The list
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| Site | The site's name, with its state beside it where it is not active |
| Team | How many people belong to the site |
| Devices | How many devices the site holds |
| Renewal Date | When the subscription next needs extending |
| Options | Actions for the site |
Sort by any column with a heading you can select, and filter the list by name with the search box. Use Add Site to create one.
The map
Sites you belong to are also plotted on a map, positioned by the location set in each site's own Site settings. A site with no location set does not appear on it.
For portal owners:
The map is on your own sites only. The portal-wide Sites list described in Portal-wide lists shows the same columns for every site in the portal, without the map.
For readers who are not portal owners:
The map is shown on your own sites. A portal-wide sites list, where it exists, is a separate view without one.
