Exception Site List tab - Admin Preferences dialog box (P6 Professional Only)

The Exception Site List tab enables you to specify a list of websites that users can launch when displayed in user defined fields (UDFs), projects websites, or Notebook topics, by double clicking on the website and selecting Launch.

For any text field in edit mode, users can right click on the website, then choose to either launch or copy the site.

Checkbox: Marked websites are launchable by users.

Site list: Displays a sortable list of sites you want to allow users to be able to launch. You can edit a website in this list by double clicking on it.

Add: Select to add a website to the list.

Delete: Removes the selected website.

Here are some rules on how to specify websites:

Website paths cannot contain spaces. You can include %20 in a path to represent a space.
For example: http://www.magnacorp.com/Primavera%20Applications
Wildcards are allowed. For example, you can add https://* and http://* to allow all sites that begin with these roots to be launchable.
Here are some examples of entries and how they would be handled:
Website paths must begin with any of the following:

https://
http://
ftps://
ftp://
mailto:
telnet://

Allowed site: https://www.magnacorp.com/document

This would allow:
- https://www.magnacorp.com/document
- https://www.magnacorp.com/document/RiceB/1MCSbdcXKQ
but would NOT allow:
- http://www.magnacorp.com/document/RiceB/1MCSbdcXKQ
  because the exception site begins with https://
- https://www.magnacorp.com/projectnano/document
  because the allowed site specifies /document after .com.
Allowed site: https://*.magnacorp.com

This would allow:
- https://www.magnacorp.com
- https://server.magnacorp.com/user/942374/my-drive
- https://apps.magnacorp.com/development/projectnano
But would not allow:
- https://magnacorp.com
  because the template requires there to be something between https:// and magnacorp.com.
A selected item with a wildcard in the site allow list overrides an unselected item if it matches the template specified with the wildcard.

For example:
- Selected: https://*.magnacorp.com
- Unselected: https://apps.magnacorp.com

In this situation, the website https://apps.magnacorp.com will be clickable, because the template including the wildcard * is selected.
