Edit stream site

Assign a stream to a site to organize its data under the real-world location it represents. A site represents a physical or operational location, such as a plant, factory, or other facility, and provides a boundary for services, data, and access within that location. Associating a stream with a site limits its accessibility to only people with access to the site.

Streams imported in a staging area, such as those from a PI bulk import, have no assigned site until you associate them with one. You can also use this procedure to move a stream from one site to another. For example, you might need to correct a stream that was assigned to the wrong site.

Important: A stream's associated site controls who can access it. After you associate a stream with a site, only users with access to that site can view or use the stream. If you move a stream to another site, users who can access the original site lose access to it, and users with access to the new site gain access. Before you change a stream's site, make sure that the right users have access to the new site.

To edit a stream site

1. From the Site or staging area selection drop down, select the site that you want to associate the stream with.

   Important: Editing a stream's assigned site does not change the geography of the stream, only the site that the stream is assigned to.

2. Complete the remaining steps in Create stream or Edit stream to save the stream site.
