When you are creating a new Site, the Site Tag is auto-populated with equals to the Site name by default. However, you can manually edit the Site Tag before the Site is saved. This may be useful if another Site with this tag already exists. In this case, you will be advised to change the Site Tag before you can save the new Site. After saving the Site, the Site Tag is set permanently and can not be modified.

  • Inventory Server - the server that controls execution of all inventory operations for this Site.

In this case, configure the Inventory Server first and restart the wizard. For detailed information about Inventory Servers, see Inventory Server Manager.

NOTE: To register an Inventory Server, run the Inventory Server Manager on the machine where the server is installed. For detailed information about managing Inventory Server, see Inventory Server Manager.

If there are multiple Inventory Servers registered in the database, the wizard will display the list of available instances for the Site. To proceed with the wizard, choose one of the running Inventory Servers. If no instance is running, configure the Inventory Server first and restart the wizard. For detailed information about managing Inventory Servers, see Inventory Server Manager. When applicable, the assigned Inventory Server can be changed, for details, see Modifying Site Properties.
