Configuring Site Ownership
Each network node (a computer, chromebook, or a network device) in Alloy Discovery belongs to a site. However, a node can appear in more than one site. For example, a laptop may be discovered and audited in the Western Branch site, then taken on a business trip and discovered in the Main Office site. In this case, this laptop appears in two sites at the same time.

uses the “Owned by Site” attribute to identify the owner of each node. By default, the node's owner is the site where the node was discovered during the most recent audit.

To identify the owner of each node, Alloy Discovery uses the Owned by Site attribute. By default, the node's owner is the site where the node was discovered during the most recent audit. If you want to track the node "origin," you can change the default settings and make the node owner the site where the node was discovered during the very first audit.
To change the “Owned by Site” attribute setting:
-
In the Settings app, navigate to General > Repository Options.
-
Under Site Ownership, click First received audit snapshot or first discovery of the Network Node.
To restore the default setting, choose the Last received audit snapshot or last discovery of the Network Node option.
-
Click Save.
NOTE: By default, the Owned by Site column is not included in any of the grid views for Network Nodes. To show the column in a particular view you should modify the view configuration and add the Owned by Site field.
