Adding and editing sites

This guide will walk you through the process of creating and managing sites in your account. Sites represent physical locations where your work is performed, such as wind farms.

Important: Only users with appropriate permissions can create or modify sites. If you don't see options to create or edit sites, contact your system administrator to verify you have the necessary "accessSites" and "updateSite" permissions.

Accessing site management

To access the site management area:

1. Log in to the Shoreline Execution Platform with your credentials
2. Navigate to the Directory menu in the main navigation (look for the compass icon)
3. Click on Sites to view the list of all sites in your organization

You'll now see a table displaying all existing sites with their names, types, external IDs, and associated work packages.

Creating a new site

Step 1: Open the create site form

1. From the Sites page, look for the "+ Add New" button (typically located at the bottom right of the site list)
2. Click this button to open the Site Modal (site creation form)

Note: You must be online to create or edit sites. This feature is not available in offline mode.

Step 2: Fill in basic information

The site creation form is organized into tabs. Start with the General tab:

Site information (required fields)

Fill in the following required fields (marked with an asterisk *):

• Name: Enter a descriptive name for the site (e.g., "North Wind Farm," "East Service Base")
• Type: Select the site type from the dropdown menu
  • Common types include: Wind Farm, Offshore Platform, Warehouse, Service Base, etc.
  • If you don't see the type you need, contact your administrator to add new site types
• External Site ID: Provide a unique identifier for the site
  • This is typically a code used in your organization's systems
  • The system will automatically suggest an ID if you leave this blank
  • The system will check that this ID is unique and alert you if it's already in use

Additional site details (optional)

Depending on your organization's needs, you may also fill in:

• Country: Enter the country where the site is located
• Work Packages: Select one or more work packages (projects) associated with this site
  • This helps organize sites by project or contract
• Hub Height: For wind turbine sites, specify the hub height
• Max Number of Teams in Asset: Set the maximum number of teams that can work simultaneously in assets at this site
• Marine Traffic Key: If applicable, enter your Marine Traffic API key for vessel tracking

Step 3: Set the site location

Every site must have a geographic location. The form includes an interactive map to help you:

1. Enter coordinates manually:

   • Latitude: Enter the latitude coordinate (e.g., 59.9139)
   • Longitude: Enter the longitude coordinate (e.g., 10.7522)

2. Use the interactive map:

   • The map will automatically center on your current location or previously saved coordinates
   • You can drag the marker on the map to adjust the exact location
   • The latitude and longitude fields will update automatically as you move the marker
   • Use the map controls to zoom in/out and change the map type (terrain, satellite, etc.)

3. Show assets on the map (for existing sites):

   • Click the "Show Assets" button to display all assets associated with this site
   • This helps you visualize the site layout and verify locations

Step 4: Configure additional tabs (optional)

Depending on your permissions and site configuration, you may see additional tabs:

Assets tab

• View and manage all assets (e.g., wind turbines, equipment, structures) at this site
• Add new assets directly from the site creation form
• Assets can be added later after the site is created

Personnel tab

• Configure which personnel have access to this site location
• Set up location-based permissions for employees

Inventory tab

• Manage inventory and equipment stored at this site
• Track warehouse limits if your organization uses inventory management

Step 5: Save the site

1. Review all the information you've entered
2. Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the form
3. The system will validate the information:
   • It will verify that the External Site ID is unique
   • It will check that all required fields are filled
   • It will ensure coordinates are valid
4. If successful, you'll see a confirmation message, and the new site will appear in the sites list

Important: The External Site ID must be unique - you cannot create two sites with the same ID. If you see a warning message, you'll need to choose a different ID before saving.
