  1. Extract Application
  2. ADF Configuration
  3. Import Elements
  4. App Configuration
  5. External Database Setup
  6. Subsites

Now that the application is installed run the following configuration step to auto populate the Import Job Type Data.

  1. On the PT Import Content Dashboard page, locate the tools accordian menu in the right column.
  2. Click the "Populate Job Types" link. This will open a lightbox dialog with the status for auto populating the Import Job Type data into the site.

Getting Started

The first step for the import is to identify the content that is being imported to the CommonSpot. This data will be imported (if necessary) into a database table and then imported into the Subsite Mapping and Page Mapping custom elements. Mapping Data:

  1. Subsite Mapping Configuration
  2. Page Mapping Configuration

Create Generic Content Template

  1. Create a new page, to be used as the Generic Content template. Typically, this page will derive directly from the Base Plus One and will be located in the root of the site.
  2. Place a Textblock Element on the page and give that element a name (e.g. "pageContent").
  3. Save this page as the Generic Content Template.

Note: Alternatively, you can use an existing content template as long as the template contains a named Formatted Text Block (with or without header) element.

Configure Site

  1. Modify the Subsite Spread Sheet Mapping document located in the/yoursite /_cs_apps/pt_import_content/data/ folder
