4. Fill out the name for your jobsite, then scroll down and click "Advanced Settings". Locate your jobsite using the "Search by Address" field. Then proceed to fill out the other required fields. After filling out all required fields, you will then scroll down to the bottom and click “Register” twice.

5. Now that your site is created in SC Portal, go back to the tab where Dashboard is open and click the refresh symbol to the right of "Manage jobsites in Smart Construction". The site you just created in SC Portal will show. Click the name of your site and proceed to the next step.
