BEFORE STARTING:  It is necessary for Sites (& Locations) to be set up before any other information in WinPATS™ can be inputed.

A site is considered as being a ‘place’ or ‘area’. A unique site name identifies a specific building, place or property. It doesn't matter whether it is a 20 story building or a 1 room office. What is important to remember is that the ‘Site’ name is unique to one ‘place’ only. It can be identified by its’ physical location ie. its’ street address, or suburb etc. to avoid confusion if there is more than one location being tested.

A Location is an area within a Site. For example. ‘Charlie's Office’ is a Location within a Site called ‘BMP Production’. “Reception’ may be another Location within this same Site ‘BMP Production’. It is expected that there will be multiple ‘Locations’ within one ‘Site”.
