Content sites

A content site is a group of related content pages that have the same basic theme, layout, and URL suffix.

Content sites are made up of a series of basic building blocks. The Employee Self-Service site is an out-of-box sample site that is included in the CMS activation. It provides existing, working examples or each CMS component, which you can use like a template to build your own site.

• Create a site
  Configure a site by either creating a new site with CMS or by editing a copy of either the ESS Portal or the Service Management Portal.
• Copy a site
  To create a new site quickly, you can copy an existing site.

  There are several methods for securing CMS sites and pages. Site security is set in the Login page field on the site record. You can control if a page is public or private through the URL.
