Set up the Forescout Console site map - create site locations

Each map location is represented on the map by a location indicator. .Map location indicator .The indicator size is based on the number of detections at the site, i.e., when there are more detections, the site indicator is larger.

After locations are created, the map displays information about detections at each site when you position your cursor over a site.
