Add your regions

Add the regions your organisation works in, each with a time zone, so people can pick one at the top of Orbit.

How-to guide1 min read

A new organisation has no regions, and Orbit then shows no region picker. Add regions when your organisation works in more than one place and people need to switch between them.

Add a region

  1. Open your organisation and choose Settings.
  2. Under Regions, choose Add region.
  3. Pick one under Start from to fill everything in, or type your own:
    • Name, the way your people know it, such as Germany or Nordics.
    • Address, filled in from the name. Satellites use it to match their own regions, so use the same address there. It cannot be changed later.
    • Time zone, used for times shown in that region.
  4. Choose Add region.

Change or remove a region

Open the menu on the region's row:

  • Edit changes the name or time zone.
  • Remove hides it from the picker. Nothing in the satellites is deleted, and adding it back with the same address restores it.

Matching satellites

Satellites keep their own regions. In CMS Orbit, regions are set per space under Configuration › Environments. When a person picks a region at the top of Orbit, satellites show the region with the same address.

What your plan allows

Orbit has no limit on regions. CMS Orbit's plan sets how many regions its websites can use: Starter includes 1 and Growth 5. A region used by several websites counts once. See Plans and billing.

Someone in several organisations sees every region those organisations have added, once each.
