Sites
All projects in Zite are organized around Sites. A site is really any structure, building, facility, or object located at an address, point, or within a given area. There are no rules about what a site can or cannot be other than a general idea that a site refers to a geographic point or area. Here are some ways of thinking about sites:
Damaged house - For a housing reconstruction & repair project.
Infrastructure under construction - For a construction-oriented project.
Displacement camp - For camp governance projects or activities taking place in humanitarian displacement sites.
Town or village - A specific administrative unit where project activities or data is being collected.
Water Tap or Latrine - For a project monitoring water quality or service functionality.
Why do projects have sites?
The important thing to remember is that there are very few limitations to what a site can be. If you are uncertain, a site can simply be the areas that your team travels to, works in, or engages with. However, the requirement that each project be organized around specific sites is beneficial for many reasons.
User Permissions - Sites are a critical part of assigning permission to users. All users can be given access to specific sites or regions within a project for which they have responsibility over. This helps separate responsibilities for work and limit users' access to data.
Form deployment - Forms can be deployed to specific types of sites or sites with certain statuses. This is useful in separating out several types of work you might want to carry out in a project.
Reports - Anytime you create a report, you can filter data by the site or region of a site. This allows you to provide data access to individuals and visualization software to any combination of sites.
Mapping - Zite automatically helps you and your users by mapping sites and visualizing work requirements, the status of cases, and tasks across various sites.
