[SOP](https://go.sitemetric.com/sitemetric-knowledge-base/site-campus-management?hsLang=en-us#sop) # SOP: Converting a Live Project to a Multi-Site Campus ## Procedure for converting an existing live project into a multi-site campus without disrupting data or access # Campus Conversion SOP – Converting an Existing Project ## Purpose To outline the steps required to convert an **existing, live Sitemetric project** into a **multi-site campus**, including establishing parent/child relationships, migrating equipment, and aligning workforce access without disrupting data flow. --- ## Scope This SOP applies to: - Customer Support - Data Support - Field Technicians - Site Leaders It is used when a **GC or customer converts an already operational project** into a campus model. --- ## Key Principles - Minimize disruption to live data and access - Preserve historical project data - Default to **full access first**, then refine - Validate with the customer before finalizing access lists --- ## Procedure ### 1. Launch New Campus Project (Parent Site) - Launch a **new Campus project** in Admin. - Update the existing project to become a **Child site** under the new Parent. - Run a **one-time backlog sync** so all existing workers on the child project gain access to the new Parent campus. - Name the new Parent project using the **Campus naming convention**: - Project Name – Campus ### Parent Site Configuration - In **Site Settings**, update required fields to include the word **“Campus”**. - Confirm: - Parent/child relationship is active - Campus project is live and accessible **Result:** - Campus (Parent) project is live - Existing child project remains operational - Access lists sync from child → campus - Campus holds equipment for shared access points --- ### 2. Create Additional Child Sites (If Required) - Submit site launch requests for any **new child sites**. - Configure project details for each site. - Link each child site to the campus: - Edit site details - Select the correct **Parent Site** **Result:** - All child sites are active and correctly linked to the campus --- ### 3. Reassign Sensors to the Correct Child Projects - Review all equipment currently assigned to the campus or original project. - Identify physical deployment locations. - Reassign sensors to the appropriate child site. - Confirm: - Data is flowing correctly - Detections appear in the correct project - Create a task to enable **standard reports** for each child site. **Result:** - Equipment is correctly mapped - Reporting is active per child site --- ### 4. Transfer Access Lists to Child Sites - Export the access list from the **Parent (Campus)** project. - Apply the list to each child site. - Grant **full access initially** to prevent data interruption. **Result:** - All workers temporarily have access to all child sites --- ### 5. Confirm Contractor Assignments with Customer - Ask the customer how access should be handled: ### Option A: Shared Access Lists - All child sites share the same access list - Enable automatic access sync from the campus ### Option B: Unique Access Lists per Child Site - Use the campus access list as a baseline - Request a **contractor-to-project assignment matrix** from the customer **Result:** - Clear direction on final access configuration --- ### 6. Finalize Access Lists - Apply the confirmed access model: - Enable shared sync **or** - Adjust access per child site - Remove unassigned workers - Validate worker placement and permissions - Notify the customer once complete **Result:** - Access lists reflect final, approved configuration --- ## Completion Checklist - Campus (Parent) project created and active - Existing project converted to child site - All child sites created and linked - One-time backlog sync completed - Access list cloned to all child sites - Equipment reassigned correctly - Standard reports enabled on all sites - Contractor assignments received (if applicable) - Access lists finalized (Shared or Unique) - Customer notified of completion --- **Owner:** Customer Support / Data Support **Applies To:** Campus conversions for live projects - [Reports](https://go.sitemetric.com/sitemetric-knowledge-base/reports?hsLang=en-us) -
