I have more great news! Today we deployed site manager in the WebUI! You can access it by browsing to the site drop down menu and scrolling down a bit.
The site manager was designed to give you the ability to quickly see all the sites you manage, receive a quick visual representation of devices that are connected, not connected or in need of a firmware update. We have also given you the ability to sort highest to lowest on devices connected/disconnected, as well as devices that need an update. Finally, you can duplicate a site for easy multi-site deployment, or even delete a site if you need.
Please take it for a test drive and let us know what you think. If there is more data you would like to see, or if you would like to see something laid out a bit differently, please let us know here.
Great new feature, just tested it and works great. Like the Copy site function.
I would also like to be able to search for a specific AP (based on MAC/serial number/name). If you have a lot of sites, sometimes you just don’t know to which site an AP belong and it is a lot of work to open all sites.
It would be great to have an option to invite a new Admin or site manager user to manage all sites rather than each one individually. This would also require an admin to see a list of all site managers to disable this access as well if needed.
Minor suggestion: There is a small loop on mobile where if you tap “site manager”, then “select site” it keeps the selector pop out open to until you tap to close the side bar list. It would be nice if you tap site manager it closes the list menu pop out to land you on the site manage page directly. I can send a screen recording if this isn’t clear.
@Krijn_Tanis Great news! This feature is now available on manage.alta.inc! If you click into the search field on the network tab, you will now notice a globe icon. You can enter an AP name or MAC address, then click the globe and it will return results that match your search from across all the sites you manage.
I like the Site manager, very helpful. “scrolling down a bit” is an understatement; I have about 40 sites and I know it is a first world problem but it annoying to scroll all the way down each time. Can you put “Site manager” at the top of the list. Even better put it next to the “Dashboard” button near the Alta logo. Even better than that make it so when logging in the page opens right to the 'Site manager" by default. Can you also make it so it remembers that I want to see 50 sites instead of defaulting to 10. On an overall layout topic when logging into Alta you take me to (I guess) the last system that was accessed, why not go straight to the Dashboard (I mean a real Dashboard of all my system i.e. the site Manager; I think you have those two terms backwards; The Dashboard should show all systems, and the Site manager should manage the site; should it be called “Sites Manager” or “Manager of Sites”?) so that any issues can be addressed right away (like offline devices) and from there I can then go to the system I want to work on.
For the Site manager, please add fields for more information like where the site is and who is the contact at the site i.e. address of the site, customer name, phone number, email, and notes sections. Then also have that information show up under the Dashboard tab at the top. I do not want to get greedy but it would be nice to have other information on the dashboard like site WAN address, LAN gateway address, service provider, this is a big ask but a WAN speed/latency test (set to run every 6-8 hours, and graph the data, this is very helpful for trouble shooting ISP issues)
