Sites per
User window. Also
make sure all users are connected to company

Main Exercise
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to create
and modify a site
cluster.
Windows:
Site Cluster
Sites per User
- In the
Site Cluster window, enter a site cluster and a description.
- In the
Site Cluster Levels tab, enter the levels you want
to have in your site cluster.
- In the
Structure tab, select a node,
right-click and then click Create Sub Nodes. Create as many sub nodes
as you want. Make sure not to use the same ID for your nodes as
the ones you used for
your sites. It is not allowed to use the same node ID several times in the
same site cluster.
- Select a new node, right-click and then click Create
Sub Nodes. Create as many sub nodes as you want.
- Continue in this way until you have a site cluster
structure that is as wide and as deep as you want. Create a site cluster
that has at least three branches on the second level.
- At the bottom of each branch, right-click and then click
Connect Sites.
Connect one or several of the sites you created in the previous exercise.
You can only connect your user allowed sites. When you connect sites, a node is automatically created with the
site as node ID.
- Select a node in the
Structure tab. In the
Node
Information tab, you can see if the node is connected to a site. In
this tab you can also see on what level the current node is placed in the
structure. The system automatically sets the correct level for a node.
- If the structure you created is deeper than expected, you can
simply add levels in the
Site Cluster Levels tab.
- Select a node in the
Structure tab;
select a node that has sub nodes. Delete this node and all its sub nodes by
right-clicking and then clicking Delete Node.
- Select a node in the
Structure tab;
select a node that has sub nodes. Move this node and all its sub nodes to
another node in your structure by using the drag-and-drop technique.
- To see the whole structure again, select the top node
and then right-click and click Expand Descendents.
- If you want to, you can try to distribute the sites
in your site cluster to another user. In the
Sites
per User window. Query for
a user, preferably a user connected to one of the other students in your
group. Right-click and then click Connect All Sites in Site Cluster.
If the user is connected to the same company as you, the user will receive
all your sites as his/her user-allowed sites.
