Set Up Sites in 8x8 Admin Console

Objective

Set up a Site in Admin Console.

In Admin Console, a site is representative of the location of your business. Your sites come pre-configured, based on the information provided at the time of purchase. However, you can create additional sites as needed.

If you want to create a site with a Main Line Number, you must first claim a phone number so that it can be selected for your site. See Claim Phone Numbers in 8x8 Admin Console.
