How to add or edit a site

Administrators open Add Site from the site list, or Edit from a site’s row menu. The page has two halves: Basic Information and Address Details.

Basic Information

  1. Choose the Company Name and Site Group. If the group does not exist yet, click + beside it to add one without leaving the page.

  2. Enter the Site Name — this is how the site is shown everywhere in BRS.

  3. For a new site, pick a Folder Structure to create its standard document folders. Add the UPRN if you have one.

  4. Use Special Instructions for access arrangements, security details or site-specific procedures.

Address Details

  1. Fill in the address. The Latitude and Longitude are worked out from it and a pin is dropped on the map.

  2. If the pin is off, drag it to the right place, or type the coordinates in. The map position is used on the works schedule map and to show how far an engineer was from site.

  3. Click Save Changes.

L8MS Management Database Upload

The file box at the bottom is only for a one-off move from the old L8MS Management system, with a file L8MS has given you. Leave it empty for a normal site — the wrong file can lose data.

Next

A new site is empty. Set it up by hand (Setting up a site), from a risk assessment (Retrieve RA) or from a spreadsheet (Upload New Site).
