Creating Your Site

QReserve data is organized into Sites that typically map to real-world physical locations with a unique set of resources and users. Multiple sites can be related through their membership in one or more portals that could represent a company, department, school, consortium, or other grouping of related facilities.

Creating Your Site

Visit the Sites page to start and select Create New Site in the centre or the top-right corner of the window.

Follow the wizard to create your site.

Name your site. The name of your site should match the name of your facility or organization.

Add your site details.

• It is optional to add a parent organization. If you are creating a site for a facility at a university, for example, the parent organization would be your university.

• You will select how people can access your site.

  • Open: your site can be searched for and anybody can become a member.

Join portals that may be available to you. You may have access to your university's portal, for example, if your university has set up a QReserve portal.

Then you're done creating your site in QReserve! You will be able to edit your site settings, add users and resources, and do more from your new 'Administration' menu item.
