Add a New Site
Use this when you need to create a new jobsite, or site, for a company in Breadcrumb. This step is usually completed after the company has been set up and you are ready to begin onboarding workers, suppliers, and any site-specific requirements.
What this means
- A “Site” is the jobsite where workers will check in and where site-specific requirements (like inductions, forms, and permits) apply.
- You can create a new site by cloning from a template so the setup is consistent across sites.
When you’ll use this
- When a new project is starting and the jobsite needs to be set up in Breadcrumb.
- When you want a repeatable setup (same settings, visitor types, and workflows) by creating sites from a standard template.
Step-by-step
Common issues
Site not showing up after creation
What to check
- The page may not refresh automatically.
- You may still be viewing “Templates” instead of “Sites”.
What to do
- Refresh the page.
- Toggle back to “Sites” view and search for the site name.
Can’t create a site from a template
What to check
- You may not have the right admin permissions.
- The template may not exist yet, or it may not be configured correctly.
What to do
- Confirm you are an administrator for the company.
- Create or fix the template first, then retry “Add new site from template”.
Visitor types or supplier settings look wrong on the new site
What to check
- The template might not include the expected visitor types or settings.
- Settings may need updating after cloning.
What to do
- Update the template so future sites clone correctly.
- Adjust the site settings directly if this is a one-off fix.
Why this matters
- A correctly set up site ensures workers can check in and complete requirements without delays.
- Using templates reduces setup mistakes and keeps site settings consistent across projects.
