Creating Redirects

Administrators can create 301 redirects, and, as of CMS 10.5, specify 302 redirects to direct users to the appropriate site pages.

To create a redirect:
  1. Navigate to Administration > Redirects.

    Custom Redirects

  2. Click Add in the Actions box. The New Redirect dialog displays.
  3. Complete the following fields in the New Redirect dialog:
    FieldDescription
    FromThe From value appends to the site URL.

    The values entered in the From and To fields create a map between the page requested (From) and the site page that the system delivers (To).

    To

    The To value holds a specific xID (e.g., x217.xml) or a structured URL label (e.g., About_Us) if the system enables structured URLs.

    If the From value's combined address matches an HTTP request, the system replaces the From value with the To value in the address delivery. The redirect takes place regardless of enabled structured URLs.

    Note
    For example, let's say the redirect From field contains /documentation/ and the To field contains /knowledge-base/documentation/. If the user enters https://[name-of-site].com/documentation/ as the HTTP request, the URL redirects to https://[name-of-site].com/knowledge-base/documentation/. See Formatting Redirects for details and other examples.
