When creating a site, you can determine a guest user password that is necessary for the user if needed. The user can also be assigned a location for printer and payment terminals if required as well.
Actual site URLs are defined for the site, meaning that valid registered URLs are listed that will direct users to the site. For example, you could have all of the following URLs redirected to the same site:
•http://www.yourorganization.com
•http://www.yourorganization.ca
•http://www.your-organization.com/Information
Also, you can define the layout of your site by including header, footer, and articles as well as linked features that have been created in the Articles module.

Information In the past, whenever a new site (or microsite) was created, some IIS configuration was also required. This is no longer the case. If the site server had a microsite called micro, its online URL would be http://site/micro/Online/. Now, any requests to the microsite at http://site/micro/Online will be automatically rewritten so it will load http://site/Online/. Requests to the microsite will not work until the application has been cached by first launching the main site or the Desktop. |
