The Sites form is where the locations are registered in IMS. A site can be a building, shelter, rooftop
hand/manhole or a room within a building. Each site must have a unique name.
In case of a room in a building, the building will be the “parent” site of the room and the room a “child”
site of the building. A room has a related room name and is related to a floor.
If so desired, a site can have multiple "alias" names.
Each site will be related to a city, which is related to a country. A city may be related to a province
and/or district, but this is not mandatory.
