# Sites

Access the Sites management page from the left menu by selecting `Sites`.

From this page, you can create new sites, organize the site hierarchy, or edit their attributes.

              
              

You can only perform actions on a site if you have the `Reference Data Administrator` role. Other users can only view the vocabularies and their items (`Reference Data User`).

Sites can also be automatically created and imported using our API. Please ask the support team for more details.

## Sites Hierarchy

The left panel displays the hierarchy of all sites.

- Use the `Collapse All` and `Expand All` buttons at the top of the region to collapse or expand the entire hierarchy.
- Click the small arrow to the left of a site to expand or collapse a specific node.
- Click a site name to view its details in the right panel and update it.

## Create a New Site

To create a new site, click the `New` button in the left panel. The right panel will display a form where you can enter the following information:

- Site Name
- Site Code (automatically generated, not editable after creation)
- Site Description (optional)
- Parent Location (the parent site in the hierarchy)
- Is Selectable (whether the site is selectable in the hierarchy ([see below](/public/docs/sites#is-selectable)))

Click the `Save` button to create the site. It will appear in the hierarchy on the left, under the selected parent.

## Edit an Existing Site

Click an existing site to display its details in the right panel. You can update the allowed fields and click `Save` to apply your changes.

The `Site Code` field cannot be modified after creation.

### Is Selectable?

When creating or editing a site, you can choose whether it is selectable. If a site is not selectable, a "forbidden" icon will appear next to its name.

### Retire or Unretire a Site

In the right panel (site details), a `Retire` button at the top right allows you to retire the site. A retired site cannot be used anywhere in the application.

After retiring a site, the button changes to `Unretire`, allowing you to reactivate the site if needed.
