Introduction
Vantage's robust device organisation system allows you to streamline your device management process by providing a flexible hierarchy for your devices. This guide will walk you through how to add folders, sites, areas, and rooms in Vantage and explain each type.
Definitions
Folders
Folders are the top level of the device organisation hierarchy. They are typically used to represent different departments, buildings, or other large-scale divisions in your organisation.
Sites
Within folders, you can create sites. Sites usually represent distinct physical locations within your organisation, such as different office buildings or campuses. You can assign a location to a site to improve address and geographic detail.
Areas
Areas are optional subdivisions within a site. They can represent specific sections of a site, such as floors in a building.
Rooms
Rooms are the most granular level in the device organisation hierarchy. They represent individual rooms within an area, such as meeting rooms, offices, or lounges. All devices must be assigned a room.
