Add Canonical Link URL and Redirect (301) URL attributes to Content Management

This has been implemented in AudienceView 7.7.0.

Two new attributes have been added to the Content Management application Articles|Application page are to help manage visitors from Google and other search engines:

•Canonical Link URL: Used to set another page on the same domain that will be considered by search engines to be the authoritative go-to page for searches that also match the subject of the article.

•Redirect (301) URL: Used to create a redirection for any request for the article to a different URL. This type of redirect (301 response) also provides search-engine crawlers with a hint that the new URL should be considered the new location for the articles content.  

Articles must be active for the redirection to happen -- an IIS webserver rule would be necessary for redirections from URLs that no longer have an active Article.

To further support the encrypted ID Tech devices, the ability to swipe a card number through a simple card swipe, or use the ID Tech encrypted device whether keyed or swiped has been added.

Provide the ability to load customer data from external .CSV source files

This has been implemented in AudienceView 7.7.0.

•One preloaded script called Customer Load and an accompanying include script called Customer Load Include have been added to the General Configuration application Scripts section.

•Six preloaded script definitions, each of which uses the same Customer Load script but handle a different combination of source files, have been added to the General Configuration application Script Definitions section:

1.Customer Load: Using customer, contact and address files

2.Customer Load: Using customer, contact, address and customer marketing files

3.Customer Load: Using customer, contact, address and membership files

4.Customer Load: Using customer, contact, address and user files

5.Customer Load: Using customer, contact, address, customer marketing, user and membership files

6.Customer Load: Using single source file

•Sample source files can be found in the \Setup\Examples\DataMonkey\Sample Source Files folder.
Hosted users should contact AudienceView to receive the sample source files.

Users can create source files based on the samples provided.

Users can then create a Data Management job using whichever script definition fits the available source files. If no appropriate script definition exists, users may create their own, following the same conventions as the existing script definition.

It is strongly recommended you test any customer load in a staging environment before executing it in a production environment.
