  security group and add BEDFORDSITE and ITASSETMANAGER group)
  2 Go to Locations application.
  3 In List Tab, type BEDFORD in site field and click Enter.
  4 All Records within Bedford site will be displayed.
  5 Now, in site field type any site value (with  which doesn't
  exist in the system (e.g. BEDFORD20) and click Enter.
