How to create a new site?

💡 Creating a site is an essential step in organizing your projects and sharing key information with your field teams.



From the Web app


1. Open the site creation page


Use the "Create a site" button located in the top right of the screen.



2. Fill in the required information


Only the following is mandatory:

  • Site name: allows you to clearly identify the site.


The following are not mandatory:

  • Site code: enter the quote number or another internal reference.
  • Client: indicate the name of the relevant client.
  • Dates and times: set the start and end period, as well as the default hours for assignments.
  • Estimated hours: set the start and end period, as well as the default hours for assignments.
  • Address / Postcode / City / GPS coordinates: use Google Maps to automatically fill in the address and make it easier to reach the site via Alobees GPS.
  • Additional address details: add details (e.g. floor, entry code).
  • Site manager: By default, this is the person who created the site. Site managers assigned to this site will be able to edit the site, schedule, track hours, etc. (⚠️ Only people with the administrator or site manager role can have this designation).
  • Site foremen: This designation gives them the right to edit the hours of other people working on this site (⚠️ These people must have the "worker" role).
  • Site contact / Contact phone number: free text field, enter the contact and associated phone number.
  • Customize the site: choose a color and photo to make visual identification easier.
  • Statuses: assign a status to track key steps (you can create these from the settings).
  • Tags: assign one or more tags to filter your sites on the schedule and the workload schedule (you can create these directly from the settings or in the site settings).



From the Mobile app


⚠️ Creating a site on the Alobees mobile app is just as quick and easy. However, you won't be able to enter as much information as from the computer.


1. Open the site creation page


  • Tap the "Sites" tab in the main menu or on the home page.
  • Tap the "+" at the bottom of your screen.


2. Fill in the main information


Fill in the following information:

  • Site name (mandatory).
  • Site address (optional).
  • Site photo (optional).


3. Finalize the creation


The site is created automatically. Complete the missing information by editing the site on Mobile or Web.


📝 Use the "location" button to automatically fill in the address with your current position.


📝 We recommend entering as much information as possible, as this is the information that will be shared with your field teams to help them get there.
