A Site is a farm or premises. A House is a building or hatchery cabinet inside it. Create these before placing Lots. You need Locations access on your plan and permission to record location changes.
Add a site
- Open Locations > Sites > Add site.
- Enter a unique Site code (up to 40 characters) and Name (up to 120).
- Add optional Notes (up to 500), then submit.
Use Notes for an address. Duplicate codes are refused. Saved sites open the list; offline sites queue and appear after sync. Unsubmitted drafts restore on this device. Use Edit to rename without losing history.
Add houses

Open the parent site. Each house needs a code unique within that site and a name. Floor area in square metres is optional: blank means unmeasured, not zero. There is no bird-capacity field. Area can determine shared-cost allocation. Set optional Housing system when editing a house; placements then inherit it.
Add houses in bulk

- On the destination site, choose Add houses.
- Enter up to 50 and Generate rows.
- Check each unique code and name; rename it or remove a row as needed.
- Enter optional area where measured, then submit.
Codes continue after existing houses. Retry failed rows only; saved rows are not duplicated. Offline rows queue until connection returns. Expand a house on the site page for details; use its row action to edit.
More than one site
Add a Site per farm. Reports can show one Site or the organization; stock and costs stay attached to their locations.
Editing and archiving
Edit to rename; archive to remove unused locations from active lists while keeping their history.
