Assigning an External URL to a Section

Instead of assigning a primary page to a section, you can also assign an external URL. The section then uses the web page of another Web site instead of a page template. Visitors coming to the section are directed to the web page URL that you specify.

To assign an external URL to a section, perform these steps:

1. Launch the Site Manager Application (see Launching Site Manager).

2. Select the section in the site hierarchy to assign an external URL to.

3. Open the Page Template tab.

4. Beside Preview page template, click the menu and select Choose External URL....

   The Choose External URL dialog is displayed.

5. Specify the web address that you would like to use for this section of the site.

6. Click OK.

   The web page that you specified is displayed in the preview area.

Using an external URL can be useful for linking to partner sites or department-level sites within the same organization. External URLs can be assigned for primary pages, but not secondary pages.
