Properties

Name/Title of this Website

Specifies the name of this website within iMIS and CM windows and reports. This value also appears as the default browser window title when viewing the home page of the website, but you can override this default browser-facing website name in the root navigation item of the website's associated sitemap (by using the Override Content Title field).

URL Name of this Website

Specifies the unique site ID of this website as a hierarchical part of the complete URL to this website when the IIS application or IIS web site used for CM is hosting more than one CM website.

This value is automatically generated when you enter the Name/Title of this Website to ensure that it will parse as a valid hierarchical part of a URL. For example, if there are spaces in the value that you specified in the Name/Title of this Website field, they are automatically converted to underscore characters in this field.

If you manually change this value, you must use a value that web browsers will correctly parse as a valid hierarchical part of the URI scheme used in URL syntax. You must also ensure that this value is unique among all CM websites.

URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root

Specifies one or more URLs that resolve to IIS applications or IIS web sites that host your CM websites. The staff or consultants who install CM on your organization's web servers should provide you with a list of URLs that correspond to each web server.

The URLs that you specify in this field determine exactly which servers will host this CM website. Use commas to delimit each URL after the first one.

For example, if you want this website to be hosted on three external web servers in different geographic locations, you would specify the three URLs that resolve to the IIS application or IIS web site used for hosting CM websites on each of the three servers. (This requires that CM has already been installed on each server.)

Secure URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root

If you have installed security certificates in IIS on the servers that host this website, specify the secure versions of same URLs that you entered in the URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root. The number and order of this list must exactly match the URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root field.

The IIS website root (above) points to more than one CM website

Appends the URL Name of this Website to each of the URLs defined in the URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root field. For example, if the URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root is http://www.example.com/, and the URL Name of this Website is xyz, then the full URL to this website would be http://www.example.com/xyz.

When cleared, the URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root cannot be used for any other CM website except this one.

Make this website the default

Makes this CM website the one that is displayed when a browser requests only the URL(s) specified in URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root or Secure URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root without also appending the segment corresponding to the value specified in the URL Name of this Website. You cannot clear this box directly, because there must always be one such CM website that is specified as the default to display if a URL does not include the URL Name of the website. To clear this box you must edit the definition of another website that shares the same website root URL and select this checkbox in the other website's definition.

Note: This checkbox does not need to be selected if the CM website is the only one being hosted by the IIS application or IIS web site that is (indirectly) specified by the URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root field. However, if you later create a second CM website that will be hosted by the same IIS application or IIS web site, the system will automatically select this checkbox for the original CM website.

Website-specific parent content folder

Specifies the site-specific folder that contains the content that is included when the website is copied.  When a new website is created, the field is hidden until you save the website and then the path is auto-populated with the website name (@/website name). On existing websites, the field defaults to blank. If you choose to copy this website later, only the content within this site-specific folder will be copied.
