2. In the sites table, select the row of the site you want to edit, then right-click in the row and select Edit Site in the context menu. This opens the Site Configuration dialog.

   TIP: You can also double-click a row to open the Site Configuration dialog.

3. In Site Configuration, update the configuration settings as needed.
4. Click OK.

To edit multiple sites through the Device Manager user interface:

1. In Device Manager, select the Sites tab.
2. In the sites table, select the rows of the sites you want to edit, then right-click in the selected row area and select Edit <number> Sites in the context menu. This opens the Site Configuration dialog.

   TIP: Use Ctrl+Click to select individual sites, use Shift+click to select a block of sites.

3. In Site Configuration, update the configuration settings as needed.

   NOTE: Only those settings that are common to all selected sites can be configured at the same time.

4. Click OK.

To edit sites through configuration import:
