Virtual Sites

Virtual Sites are non-physical sites for Virtual Users who move from one site to another site, and they are not assigned to a physical site. Users are added to the Virtual Site during the User Import process. Pre-populating Users in the appropriate PFM server and PTT Pro instance minimizes the login time, allowing the system to perform a simple move as opposed to the more complex User Deletion and Addition.
Upon system sign-in, the actual physical site information reported by the site device is returned to the system, and the Virtual Users are moved to that site. The Users are then able to participate in Workcloud Communication with others on the site as specified by the PTT Pro Configuration.
In conjunction with the Sticky Element
  • If the Virtual User Sticky = yes, then at the next User import the User remains populated in currently established Site. During the User’s subsequent sign-in, if in a different site, the device site configuration information determines if the User is to be moved to the new site or to remain in the existing site.
  • If the User Sticky = no, then at the next User import - assumed to be one time per day - the users are returned to the Virtual Site. When Users sign in at a site, the device configuration information causes them to be moved from the Virtual Site to the Actual Site.
