About Site Setup

After you enter your company information using the Company Setup wizard, use the Site Setup wizard to enter information about each store for Aloha Insight to poll. The Site Setup wizard allows you to define attributes for each store, such as the location, area, region, and store groups to which it belongs, their Internet Service Provider, polling times, and more.

The Site Setup wizard provides the following options:

•	Add/Modify Stores

•	Add/Modify Store Groups

•	Add/Modify Areas

•	Add/Modify Regions

•	Add/Modify Replication Groups

Use regions and areas to group stores into multi-tier layers for reporting purposes. Regions are the highest level in which you can group your stores, followed by areas.

You must define your regions and areas before defining your stores. You can optionally set up store groups. For example, create a store group for each franchisee that includes only their stores, thus limiting the sales data each franchisee can view.

The following example shows how to use regions, areas, and store groups to group your stores:
