# Sites

Overview

A Site is logical grouping of Projects, Devices, Agents, and Jobs. They are meant to denote larger areas (such as a factory or region).  The planning of Sites and Agents is critical prior to the initial creation of your sites.  Once your planning is done, use this section to walk through the creation of Sites. When you have created your Sites, your next step will be creating [Agents](/docs/devicelink/sitesandagents/agents.md).

## Creating a Site

To create your first Site, navigate to the home pag&#x65;*,* select the *Sites* tab and click the *+ New Site* button.

You should see the *New Site* modal. Choose a memorable name for your site, and input the Time Zone for your new Site. Note that the time zone input is searchable. Optionally, add a description so that other users are clear about the purpose of your Site.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Time Zone field cannot be changed after initial setup so be careful to set this value correctly.
{% endhint %}

Copia recommends that you add your new Site to a specific Team to automatically give every Member within the chosen Team access to the Site. This is a great way of using the Teams you've set up in Git-Based Source Control to quickly grant others access to your Site.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also add a Site to a Team at a later time through the *Teams* tab on your Org Management screen. To learn more about this flow, check out the [Teams](/docs/devicelink/administration/teams.md) section.
{% endhint %}

Click the *Create Site* button to finish Site setup.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.copia.io/docs/devicelink/sitesandagents/sites.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
