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.
