# Sites

A **site** represents a group of buildings located within a contiguous area, such as a campus or city blocks, all within the same time zone. Organizations can manage one or multiple sites depending on their needs.

This page provides guidance on how to [**retrieve**](#get-all-sites), [**create**](#create-site-s), and [**update site information** ](#update-site-s)within an organization, enabling efficient management of site-related data and ensuring seamless operations across locations.
