6.1.5.5 Object Viewer The Object Viewer grants users direct access to a debugging tool often used by developers. This tool provides users with essential information about a selected object and all objects the users have access to. The Object Viewer is only available to users with Administrative rights to the object. Once a user is using the Object Viewer, the user is able to navigate to any other object to which he/she has Administrative rights. Within the tool, the SiteExecutive permissions model applies. Example: users without read rights on an object will not be able to view that object in Object Viewer. To view an object’s properties in the Object Viewer: 1. Select the desired object in Site Explorer. 2. Select the Desktop tab. 3. Double-click Object Viewer in the information area.

6.2 Link Validation Tab SiteExecutive has a link validation tool that checks for all broken links. The tool creates a global database of broken links that can be reviewed by users. The database is stored as a .csv file under the www root and can then be searched by users at any time without a significant performance impact. The .csv file can also be accessed via the Links Validation tab. The link validation may be set up to run on a daily or weekly basis at a specified time. NOTE: The Link Validator should only be run once a day. If the system recognizes that the Link Validator has already been run on a given day, it will not run again. Folders and objects may be checked individually for broken links. When a folder is selected and Validate Links is run, the list of broken links, for the selected objects within that folder, is retrieved from the .csv file. If broken links are found, a .csv file is generated and available at the folder level. If no broken links are found, no .csv file is generated and the Validate Links icon displays as inactive.

6.2.1 Schedule Link Validation To schedule Link Validation: 1. Click Main. 2. Select the Link Validation tab.

6.3 Search Index Tab When a new page or site is created, the site should be indexed so it will appear in the site’s search results. Running indexing for the first time registers the index collection with ColdFusion and allows the creation of Verity collections for search engines. Indexing the site after page creation places new data in the already existing collection of data without optimizing the site. Indexing does not have to be completed after each page is published. If Update Index on Page Publish is disabled in the Properties tab, the Verity collections are not updated and recently published content will not appear in search results. If this is disabled, indexing should be scheduled. If Update Index on Publish is selected, the Verity collections are updated when the page is published.

SiteExecutive 2013 EP1 Site Administrator User Guide

96

NOTE: In multi-server environments, Verity collections will be stored on each server separately. Indexing will occur on each server and each server will be notified to update its index when pages are published, if the system is set up to index published pages.

If the desired result is to enforce SSL at specific folders, SSL must be enabled at the folder level.

6.5.2.2 Folder SSL To enable SSL for a folder: 1. Select a folder in the Site Explorer. 2. Select the Properties tab. 3. Click Edit. 4. Select Yes for SSL Enabled?.

SiteExecutive 2013 EP1 Site Administrator User Guide

7. Redirects Tab The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Redirects feature allows a user to define relative URI redirects (HTTP Status Code 301) to both internal and external URI’s at the site and object level. SiteExecutive Redirects do not require knowledge of defining redirects at the web server level and access to the web server, so it’s simple and easy to define both internal or external redirects (internal – pages, folders, binary objects within SiteExecutive instance or external – outside SiteExecutive within an external domain). Possible applications of Redirects: 

Create smaller URI for marketing campaigns



Improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on pages that may have been archived or inactive



Maintain PageRank values after a site restructure or redesign



Ensure when a site is restructured no pages return 404 and have been redirected appropriately



Ensure when site visitors have bookmarked pages, that no pages return 404 and have been redirected appropriately



Ability to create readable URIs for external pages, web applications (i.e. redirect to login)

7.1 Internal Redirects Internal Redirects are relative URIs to existing sites within the SiteExecutive instance. They can be defined at the object level: page, folder, and binary file. A relative URI can be defined for one object within the instance in both the internal and external redirect definitions. If a relative URI already exists, the user will receive an error message. NOTE: Users may define a relative URI that already exists as a SiteExecutive object. SiteExecutive will attempt to display the actual SiteExecutive object. If that object is not active, it will perform the redirect.

SiteExecutive 2013 EP1 Site Administrator User Guide

106

To define an internal redirect: 1. Select the object (page, folder, binary) in the Site Explorer. 2. Select the Redirects tab.

3. Select the Site to which the URI will be added. 4. Define the relative URI in the URI field 5. Click Add. The URI is added to the Redirect table for the object.

7.2 External Redirects External Redirects are internal relative URIs redirected to an external URI (outside sites(s) within the SiteExecutive instance). External Redirects are defined at the site level, using the same rules as internal redirects. A relative URI can be defined once, verified across both internal and external redirect definitions. To define an external redirect: 1. Select a site in the Site Explorer. 2. Select the External Redirects tab.

SiteExecutive 2013 EP1 Site Administrator User Guide

Characters associated with the more specific tags will be dropped first in the event that there are too many characters o

page tags dropped before folder tags

o

folder tags dropped before site tags



Keywords may be in lower case or capitalized
