# Sites Setup

Sites let you split reporting by location, business, or department -- each site can have its own time zone, and you can run reports per-site or combined.

Most companies only need the default single site. Click **Add a site** to create another, set its name, description, time zone, and whether it observes Daylight Saving Time. Once a company has 2+ sites, site selectors appear throughout TBA (client records, transactions, etc.) that stay hidden for single-site companies.

## The Sites List

The page lists each site with its **Site name**, **Description**, and **Time Zone**. Edit a row in place, then click **Save Changes**; use the arrows to reorder the sites. **Add a site** adds a new row (it defaults to using Daylight Saving Time). Every company starts with one default site.

- **Site name** — what the site is called wherever it is selected.
- **Description** — optional notes.
- **Time Zone** — the site’s time zone, shown with its offset from UTC. Times that TBA records, such as a clock-in or a status change, are shown to each user in their own site’s time zone.
- **Use Daylight Saving Time?** — a separate Yes/No for each site. Choose No for a place that does not change its clocks.

## What Sites Affect

- Clients, vendors, items, and most documents belong to a site, and a user’s [permission profile](https://theasst.com/docs/users-and-permissions/) can limit them to one site.
- Prices can be set for a particular site on an [item](https://theasst.com/docs/item-info/), and inventory is counted per site.
- Reports can be run for one site or all sites together.
- The Site fields only appear once you have two or more sites, and you can hide them with **Show Site Fields** in [General Options](https://theasst.com/docs/general-options/).
