Trade Area
Site
Location
Hierarchy

10. Defining Attributes and Attribute Groups
Attributes capture features such as business, physical, and financial information for your business entities. Closely related attributes can be grouped for the same business entity.
Defining Attributes and Attribute Groups
Seeded attributes are provided, and Site Hub supports user-defined attributes for sites, locations, hierarchies, and trade area groups. You can group attributes based on business functions, and create attribute pages for categorizing attribute groups to display separately.
The Site Hub Administrator defines attributes, attribute groups and attribute pages—and creates attribute assignments.

13. Viewing, Creating, and Editing Site Records
Information about a site is visible on the site record including number, name, type, address, and integration with other Oracle applications.
Viewing, Creating, and Editing Site Records
There are several methods for creating new sites including
Manual data entry
Copying from an existing record or template
Import and export process from a spreadsheet
Using a web service
Sites are created with purposes assigned. You can associate attributes, attachments, and include sites in clusters and hierarchies. Assigned attributes are based on the site purposes, locations, and trade areas.
Site data, including demographics and competitor data, provide inputs for site comparisons and targeted marketing.
As your business evolves, you can update existing sites to reflect business changes.
Overview of Oracle Site Hub

14. Site Clusters and Hierarchies
Site Hub provides the ability to:
Group sites with shared characteristics into clusters
Create hierarchical structures grouped for sites at several levels
Site Clusters and Hierarchies
Site Hub provides the ability to group sites in clusters, that is, at one level only. For example, you can create a cluster of sites with a specific annual revenue range and size.
Hierarchies are a tree representation of sites, grouped for common characteristics at several levels. This logical grouping aids in viewing and enables you to drill down to view the site details. You can create hierarchical structures for your sites according to both site and hierarchy purposes and attributes. The hierarchy functionality in Site Hub provides for organizations with a large number of sites to create relationship roles between sites.
