    About this task

    Each floor in the organization can be considered as a site. Each site can be further divided into zones. Each zone can have multiple Wi-Fi access points.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Contact Tracing > Mist Systems > Organizations.
    2. Click New.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.
      Table 1. Organization form
      Field Description
      Name Name of the organization.
      Organization Id Unique ID of the organization. You must have the network admin role to get the organization ID. For more information, see the Mist Systems documentation.

    4. Click Submit.

      The sites of the organization are fetched from the Mist Systems and displayed in the Sites related list. Later, the Load Mist Sites scheduled job runs at the configured time and updates the sites list for each of the organizations.
