Required and Optional New Site Wizard Fields

Accessing the New Site Wizard

To access the New Site Wizard, navigate to: Tools -> Import -> New Site.

The "Site Name" field is required, as it's used as the name for most of the components set up for you. If you only supply a site name, then the New Site Wizard will create the assets and components laid out in the first section below. 

The "Template Upload" field is not required, but if supplied, will accept any HTML page properly marked-up with Dreamweaver style region tags, convert it to a Cascade template, and create an associated configuration set. As asset factory and asset factory asset are also created based on this new template.

The "Zip Upload" field is also not required, but if supplied, accepts a zip of all the assets in your site. It will convert the HTML pages to Cascade pages by stripping out everything except the default region content and relating the page to the new configuration set.
