> A [Site](https://scopious.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/85917701/Glossary+of+Terms#Site) allows you to define a boundary that will contain one or more [Site Locations](https://scopious.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/85917701/Glossary+of+Terms#Site-Location). On these locations, you can upload images and precisely position [Devices](https://scopious.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/85917701/Glossary+of+Terms#Device) on them to better identify the positioning of devices within smaller areas i.e. within buildings.

To create a Site:

1. Navigate to the **Network > Sites** page using the navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
2. Click **Add Site**.
3. Search for a location using the **Search Location** search bar or navigate to the area on the map where you want to create the Site.
4. Draw the boundary of the site by clicking each of the vertices (corners) of your desired area on the map. Lines will appear and connect all previously places vertices.
5. (Optional) Specify a Site colour.

> ℹ️ A new Site cannot overlap an existing Site and must have at least 3 vertices.

> ℹ️ Once you have created a Site, you will need to add a [Site Location](https://scopious.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/85917701/Glossary+of+Terms#Site-Location) to it to upload images and position device pins.
