Site TabsWhen you initially log in to the portal, two tabs are displayed:
o Favorite Sites—This tab lists the sites at which a Westec iVR or DVR device is installed, andthat you have flagged as a frequently-accessed site.
o All Sites—This tab lists all sites to which you have access and at which a Westec iVR or DVR
device is installed.
The specific tab that is selected is determined by the tab that you most recently visited. For example, if
you most recently selected a site from the All Sites tab, this tab displays.
The sites that display on either tab are dependent on your login credentials. If your organization limits
access to groups of sites on a user-by-user basis, it is possible that you will only be able to view a limited
sub-set of all of your organization’s sites.
A limited number of sites are displayed at one time. If more sites are available than are listed on the
display, use the List Navigation links at the bottom of the list to display additional sites.
Accessing a Site
Complete the following steps to locate and access a site:
1. Select either the Favorite Sites tab or the All Sites tab.
