About the Site Place Type

A site is a loosely defined place such as a campus, cell site, or VPN site. Unlike a location, a site is not necessarily bound to specific geographic coordinates. Because sites are only loosely defined, they can evolve over time. For example, you might need to plan a VPN without knowing the specific locations of the VPN sites. You can create configurations to keep track of the changes.

If a site includes multiple specific locations, you can include them in a Place hierarchy for the site. For example, if you create a Site specification instance for a campus, you can create Location specification instances for its individual buildings and include them in the site's Place hierarchy.
