    Select a Default Site

    Select the checkbox of your default site, as shown in the screenshot above.

    For an organization with multiple sites, it is recommended that you designate the site which has the most turnover in terms of addition and removal of machines as the default site. When you add a machine in the Add Machines dialog box, the site which appears by default in the Select Site field is the default site (see screenshot below). Having the site with the most turnover appearing by default in the Select Site field allows you to skip the step of selecting a site for an added machine for the majority of machine additions. See Add Machines for more information about adding machines to your ControlUp organization.
