Contact information can be provided per Site, or inherited from a parent Site. Once the Site has been created, devices can be associated with the site. Devices associated with the network are listed under the Devices branch of the menu tree. The Sites branch remains empty until a site hierarchy is created.

Important: When creating Sites, you must follow the nesting hierarchy in best practices. For more information, see How Sites and Views Work.

As you are creating the Site hierarchy, devices can be assigned as you go, or the Site hierarchy can be created, and then assigned to the devices within the hierarchy.
