To begin tagging your sites, you should first determine which buildings or locations will serve as your defined Periscope sites. Once determined, a good practice is to create a file folder under your Niagara Station named "PeriscopeSites". Under this folder, individual folders for each site can be created and these folders can then be tagged with the hs:site Haystack tag. In the haystack module palette, there is also a "site" component that can be used instead of the folders shown on the right. 

  • To tag a site, right-click the folder or station object and choose "Edit Tags". Open the Haystack tag dictionary, search for "site", and select it from the list. Be sure to hit "save" and the folder is now tagged. 

Additional hierarchical folders within these site folders could be added as needed for things like equipment, or possibly campuses or states above the site level (requires a custom hierarchy setup). For more on editing your hierarchy and adding additional levels of navigation, see editing hierarchies.
