Site Groups - FAQs
Overview:
Site Groups enable you to run reports for only the Sites that are assigned to a Site Group.
For example, if you want to run reports that consolidate all of your Sites other than your Commissary Site, then you can set up a Site Group that does not include your Commissary and select this Site Group when you run the report.
Another example is if you sometimes want to report on the Sites located in your Northeast Region and not include your Southeast Region Sites, then you can set up a Site Group for your Northeast Region.
One more example is if you have restaurants located in malls and others that are free-standing. If you wanted to run reports on the mall restaurants only, you could set up a Site Group for your mall restaurants and only assign the mall Sites to this Site Group.
