# Creating and Managing Sites Source: https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/creating-and-managing-sites > Create and manage sites in Astalty, including the fields available on the site form. Scheduling add-on - This feature requires the Scheduling add-on, which is available on Astalty Premium. See How to enable Scheduling. Users limited to managed Sites can act only on Sites assigned to them. ## Creating a Site Open [**Sites**](https://app.astalty.com.au/sites), select **Create Site**, complete the form, then select **Create**. ![The Sites list with the Create Site button highlighted at the top right, above a table of sites with Name, Type, Occupancy, Site Manager, Tags and Address columns.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/createsite.png) ### Form Fields - **Name** is required. - **Type** is required. Choose **SIL House** or **Other**. - **Default Support Type** is optional. Astalty pre-fills it on new Supports at this Site. Leave it empty to choose a Support Type each time. - **Description** is optional. - **Capacity** appears only for a SIL House. Enter at least 1, or leave it blank for no limit. - **Site Manager** is optional. - **Address Lookup** can find an address, or you can enter Address Line 1, Address Line 2, Suburb, State, and Postcode manually. ![The Create Site form with Name, Type set to SIL House, a Description editor, Capacity, Site Manager and Address Lookup fields, and Cancel and Create buttons.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/createsite2.png) > **No site has a Default Support Type set by default** > > This field was added without backfilling any site, SIL Houses included - every existing site > starts with none, and picking a site on a new support no longer fills in Supported Independent > Living on its own. If you run SIL Houses, set **Supported Independent Living** as the Default > Support Type on each one. Until you do, staff pick the Support Type themselves. If you haven't > specified a Support Type, Ask Astalty books Other (Group Support for a group). ![The Default Support Type field on the Edit Site form, set to Supported Independent Living, with the hint text 'Filled in on new supports at this site. Leave empty to choose each time.'](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/sites-default-support-type-field.png) > **Adding Many Sites at Once?** > > Use the [Sites Import](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/imports/sites-import) to prepare Sites from a CSV and review the rows before importing them. ## Editing a Site Open a Site and select **Edit**. Update its name, type, Default Support Type, description, capacity, or Site Manager, then select **Update**. Tags and the address are managed separately. The edit drawer also shows **Archive** or **Unarchive**. Archiving is reversible, but Astalty will refuse to archive a Site while it has assigned Participants or a current or future published Support or Group Support. Remove those links first. Unarchiving does not recreate links that were removed. ### Updating a Site's Address Open the Site and select **Actions > Update Address**. Use **Address Lookup** or enter the address manually. **Update linked Scheduled Supports** is selected by default. When the Site's existing address changes, this also updates upcoming Supports and Group Supports that still use the previous Site address. Clear the option to change only the Site address. Select **Update** to save. ![The Update Address form with a highlighted note that updating the address also updates upcoming Scheduled Supports still at the site's current address. Update linked Scheduled Supports is ticked, above the Address Lookup and manual address fields.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/update-site-address.png) ## Site Photo A Site can have one profile picture. ### Adding or Changing a Site Photo 1. Open the Site. 2. Select **Upload Profile Picture** or **Change Profile Picture**. 3. In **Update Site Profile Picture**, drag an image into the upload area or browse for one. The picker accepts one image and uploads it immediately. Adding another image replaces the current profile picture. ### Removing a Site Photo Select the delete icon beside the profile picture, then confirm **Delete**. The Site returns to its default icon. ## Assigning Participants A Participant can belong to multiple Sites. ### Assigning Participants to a Site Open **Participants**, select **Assign Participants**, select one or more Participants, then confirm. If this would exceed a SIL House capacity, Astalty warns you and offers **Assign Anyway**. Capacity is a planning guide, not a hard limit. ![A SIL House site with its Participants tab highlighted and the Assign Participants button highlighted at the top right, above a table of assigned Participants.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/assignparticipantsite.png) ### Viewing Assigned Participants The table shows each Participant's name, Phone, DOB, NDIS Number, Primary Coordinator, and the date added. A SIL House with a capacity also shows current occupancy against that capacity. ### Removing a Participant from a Site Open the Participant row menu, select **Remove**, then confirm. This removes only the Site assignment. It does not delete the Participant or change their other Site assignments. ![A site's Participants tab with the three-dot menu on a Participant's row highlighted and open, showing the Remove option highlighted.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/removeparticipantsite.png) ## Site Tags Tags are reusable, colour-coded labels. Manage them in [**Settings > Sites**](https://app.astalty.com.au/settings/sites). ### Applying Tags to a Site Open the Site. In the **Tags** row on its profile, select the add control and choose one or more existing Tags. Site Tags are not fields in the create or edit form. ![A site's Overview with the + add control highlighted beside its existing tags, such as Pet Friendly, Regional and Staffed 24/7, above the site's details and Information Items.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/sitetags.png) ### Filtering Sites by Tag On the Sites list, open the **Tags** filter and select the required Tags.
