Sites
Overview
Sites are where you add you various different buildings, floors and drawings. Sites segregate your jobs for resource planning & reporting, everything you do for customers on Fire Survey Pro will be done through a site.
How sites are used
When you win a new surveying or full fire stopping job you will enter the site within the system, you specify some site information and proceed. Sites house all the pins/penetrations for that particular job, separated out by buildings, floors and drawings. This gives you, the user more granular overview of a site and whats been surveyed or completed as time passes. This is also where the site report is generated from, all data within a site can be displayed within a report, depending on the report configuration. For more details on Site Reports, [click here].
