Setting Up Your First Site

Sites and Locations help you organize your IT operations by physical place. A site is a building or office, and locations are areas within that site (floors, server rooms, closets, etc.).

Why Sites Matter

Sites connect to almost everything in OpsGrip: - Inventory items can be assigned to a site - Trip Ops trips are tied to destinations - Team members can be associated with a site - Network Topology maps are site-specific

Setting up your sites early makes everything else easier.

Creating Your First Site

1. Go to Sites & Locations in the sidebar
2. Click New Site
3. Fill in the basics:

• Site Name — e.g., "Main Office", "Downtown Data Center", "Warehouse B"
• Address — Physical address
• Site Type — Office, Data Center, Warehouse, Remote, etc.

1. Click Save

Adding Locations Within a Site

Once your site exists, add locations inside it: 1. Open the site 2. Click Add Location 3. Name it — "Server Room", "2nd Floor", "IT Closet", "Reception" 4. Save

Locations help you pinpoint exactly where assets live and where work needs to happen.

Demo Sites

OpsGrip includes demo sites to show you what a populated workspace looks like. These are marked with an is_starter  flag so you can easily tell them apart from your real data. Feel free to explore them, edit them, or delete them when you're ready.

Tips

• Start with your main office and expand from there
• Keep site names short and recognizable — your team will see them in dropdowns everywhere
• If you only have one location, you still want at least one site created so inventory and trips have somewhere to link to
