Site Administration is performed from the Business Control Center, where there are two screens that allow you to manage your configurations:
Manage Site Assets – This screen displays registered sites and site groups. Registered sites are recorded in the Site Repository and have an assigned Site ID. If there are no registered sites, you will not see any sites or site groups.
Manage Site Categories – This screen displays site categories that are used to provide data for the sites that you create. Site categories are also used to provide configurable properties for your sites.
Although the screens provide access to different site components, the interface is similar. Both screens are divided into separate tabs, where different types of information are displayed:
Site – This tab displays a list of all of the sites, site groups or site categories that are available. If there are none available, a message will be displayed asking you to create a new asset.
Operations – This tab displays the asset information, such as the ID, Name, Description, etc. This is where you provide information that creates and implements your configuration.
Presentation – This tab allows you to set up the presentation of your site.
The screens also provides dropdown action menus that create or manage assets that you have selected.
For additional information on the user interface, refer to the ATG Merchandising Guide for Business Users.
Sorting Assets
You sort assets in both the site categories and the Site Administration screen by using the Sort menu. When you sort assets on the site category screen, you can sort by site category name or ID. When you sort assets on the Site Administration screen, you can sort by Enabled, meaning whether the site is in the enabled state or not. You can also sort by site name or the site category that has been used to create the site.
Filtering Assets
You can filter assets by entering criteria in the filter field. Your criteria limit what is displayed in the Browse Pane. For example, if you enter yellow in the filter field, only assets that contain that word will be displayed.
Comparing Assets
The Manage Site Assets screen contains a split screen control that allows you to split the screen into two separate consoles. This allows you to select two separate assets and view them simultaneously to compare. To split the screen, click on or drag the control upward until the screens are the desired size. To remove split screens, drag the control towards the bottom of the screen until the second screen disappears.
