# Add your first site

> Find a location, save it as a site and open its analysis.

Add a site from an address, postcode, care home or point on the map.

## Find the location

1. On the dashboard, select **Site** under **New**.
2. Search using **Address/postcode/care home**.
3. Select the right result and check its position on the map.

The label below each result tells you whether it is an address, care home or planning application. If an address does not identify an exact land parcel, PICSy centres the map on it. Double-click the correct point or select the parcel to place the site.

## Create the site

1. Select **Create site** in the map pop-up.
2. Review the site details in **Add Site**.
3. Select **Create**.

PICSy saves the site and opens its analysis.

## If the site already exists

Check **Nearby saved entities** before creating the site. If an existing site represents the same location, open it instead to avoid splitting work between duplicates.

Next, get to know [the analysis workspace](/analysis/overview).
