A free-form notes field for the site, editable in place with the correct permissions.
Site location and time
The site location determines the site's local time, which is what scheduled tasks run against. It must be set before Scheduling can be configured.
A new site opens on a default position on the map; the location is not set until you choose one.
- Navigate the map until the site's location is visible.
- Select the location.
- If the pin and the address preview look right, select the checkmark to accept.
Once a location is set, Cloud calculates:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Latitude | From the point you selected |
| Longitude | From the point you selected |
| Geo address | Derived from the coordinates. It need not be exact for the site to work, but closer is better |
| UTC offset | Calculated from the coordinates |
| Time zone | Calculated from the coordinates |
For portal owners:
Enforce two-factor authentication
Where two-factor authentication is enabled for the portal, site owners can require every user in this site to use it. A user who already has it set up signs in as usual; a user without it is made to set it up at their next sign-in.
Belonging to one site that enforces two-factor authentication is enough for it to apply to a user everywhere.
Notifications
For readers who are not portal owners:
Four types are available. Each user chooses which to receive, either per device or across every device in the site, and how often they are delivered.
For portal owners:
Four types are available. Each user chooses which to receive, either per device or across every device in the site. By default a user is editing their own settings. Site owners can optionally set another user's notifications by choosing them in the Select user... popover.
| Type | Fires when |
|---|---|
| Connection | A device changes online status (tolerant of brief outages) |
| Warning | A device raises a warning notification |
| Error | A device raises an error notification |
| Fixture Status | A device reports a fixture status change |
The digest schedule is set per user, so different users in the same site can receive notifications at different intervals. For what each type fires on, how the schedules differ, and the bell in the top bar, see Notifications.
