Managing construction sites and subcontractor relationships in Salus requires a clear understanding of how site ownership and access work. One key feature that helps organize this is the “Site Creator” column in your site list. This article breaks down what that column means and how it relates to joining or being invited to a site.
🔍 What Does “Site Creator” Mean?
The Site Creator is the company that originally created the site in Salus. This designation helps determine how your company is connected to the site and what visibility you have.
Here’s how to interpret it:
| Site Creator | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Your Company | You created the site directly. |
| Another Company | You either joined the site or were invited to it. |
| A Prime Contractor You Work With | They invited you as a subcontractor and added your company to their site. |
| A Company You Don’t Work With | You likely joined an existing site when creating a new one with the same name. Salus prompts you to join if a site with that name already exists. |
🤝 Joining vs. Being Invited
There are two primary ways your company can be connected to a site you didn’t create:
- Invited to Site: A prime contractor adds your company to their site as a subcontractor.
- Joined Site: You create a new site, but Salus detects an existing site with the same name and prompts you to join it instead.
This system ensures that all subcontractors are aligned under the correct site, which is especially important if a prime contractor joins Salus after the site has already been created.
🔐 Form Visibility and Prime Relationships
Form visibility depends on your relationship with the site creator:
- Prime–Subcontractor Relationship: You can choose whether to share your submitted forms with the prime contractor by toggling the “Share with Prime” option in your form templates.
- No Prime Relationship: The site creator will not see any forms your company submits to the site, or that your company is even on the site.
This gives you control over your data and ensures that visibility is only granted when appropriate.
