Sites and Regions
Sites and Regions
In Device Intelligence, each appliance has a site and a unique site-ID. You can assign multiple appliance-IDs to a single site. Multiple sites make a region, thereby creating a hierarchy of sites.
Default site and Organization region is predefined in the appliance and you can not modify it. By default, any site created is assigned to the Organization region and any Device Intelligence appliance created is assigned to the Default site.
Warning
You can not modify the Default site and Organization region.
