Batch create sites from web layer in BA Web App

We often already have our sites mapped in ArcGIS Pro, and publish the point layers as a feature layer in our organization on ArcGIS online. We are able to bring this published web layer into the BA Web App, and can create sites from the web layer one point at a time.

But I'm not seeing a way to create sites with specified rings for the entire web layer in one action. It would be nice to have an option under the (...) menu settings for the web layer for batch creating sites for the entire layer.

TY!

I'll edit this--I found this option under set up layer. Might be helpful to rename this option though, because I had no idea it would create sites. Maybe "Create Sites"?

@RachaelChasse You can also batch select the features on map using the select tool and then create buffers for all selected features on map as follows. And then you should be able to create the sites.

Please note that if you use the "set-up layer" method, the buffers created are temporary. To create sites, you must batch select the buffers from the map and click on Create sites as follows as well:
