Question Oil level - Stupid question but I have to ask

Can someone confirm the correct way to check oil level? The manual says keep the bike upright and look at the sight glass while the engine is warm… Does that mean I have to balance the bike to make sure it’s standing straight up and look at the sight glass? Or upright resting on the side stand? The oil level is very different between two methods. I have an 800 SS and embarrassed to ask but kind of have to.
