When someone visits your website, iMIS uses a URL Rewriter to determine which page to display as they navigate your site. The Rewriter parses the URL and then looks for a matching definition for the following elements, which are resolved in this order:
1. Virtual directory name
2. Website URL (Site designer > Manage websites, URL Name of this Website field)
3. Links to a content folder that contains a content record with a Publish File Name of Default.
4. URL shortcuts for a particular website (Site designer > Manage shortcuts, Shortcut field)
5. URL shortcuts set up for All sites (Site designer > Manage shortcuts, Shortcut field)
6. Navigation path (Site designer > Manage sitemaps, URL field)
7. Navigation codes (Site designer > Manage sitemaps, Navigation Code field)
For example, consider the URL http://mysite.com/mbr/events. If you have a URL shortcut named events and a navigation code named events, the page associated with the URL shortcut is rendered, instead of the page associated with the navigation code.
