This topic describes adding of a new website to the system using the New site wizard when the Create a new site using a wizard option is chosen in the first step of the wizard.
1. In the second step, you need to enter the following basic site properties:
| • | Site display name - name of the new site displayed in the administration interface. |
| • | Site code name - name of the new site used in website code. |
| • | Domain name - domain name on which the new site will be running. |
| • | Site culture - default culture of the site. |
Click Next to continue.
2. In Step 3, you can select which objects will be imported along with your new site. You can make this selection by choosing one of the categories displayed in the tree view on the left side of the screen. By selecting a category, a set of check boxes appears in the right part of the screen, letting you select the exported objects.
If you select the root of the tree, you will be offered with the following options:
Global selection
| • | Load default selection - if clicked, object pre-selection will be done based on choice in Step 1. |
| • | Select all objects - if clicked, all objects will be preselected. |
| • | Select only new objects - if clicked, only objects not existing in the database will be preselected. |
| • | Deselect all objects - if clicked, all objects will be de-selected. |
Import settings
| • | Assign all objects to the imported site (recommended) - if checked, all imported site related objects will be assigned to the imported site. |
| • | Run the site after import - if checked, the updated site will be run after the import is finished. |
| • | Delete incomplete site when import fails - if checked, incomplete site will be deleted when import fails. |
| • | Import files (recommended) - if checked, files will be imported. |
Click Next to continue.
3. A log will be displayed, showing you the progress of site import. When the export process finishes, click the Next button.
4. In Step 5, you can select the master page layout. This defines the basic visual structure of the website. These settings can be altered any time later, no matter which layout you have selected. Select one of the layouts and click Next.
5. Site map of you new website can be defined in Step 6. Select the node of the tree under which you want to place a new page and click New. Enter the name of the new page and select a page template which will be used on the page.
