URL Management

URL Management in the Properties tab provides URL settings for individual pages and components. Use these settings to customize the URL of any content item.

You may find these settings useful for SEO purposes. For example, you can apply URL Management properties to follow search-engine friendly naming conventions and to include keywords in URLs.

Important
Any URL values listed for a content will resolve as a 301 redirect to the canonical value if administrators select the Redirect all requests to canonical URL automatically checkbox for the given publishing target. See Configuring Structured URL Settings for details.
To manage URLs:
  1. Navigate to Site > Site Tree.
  2. Select the page or component in the Site Tree.
  3. Select the Properties tab, then select URL Management in the Options menu.
    The URL Management settings display.

  4. In the URL Settings for drop-down list, choose the publishing target where you want to apply your URL configuration.
  5. Optional: To add a custom URL for the content item, complete the following steps:
    1. Click Add to create custom URL for the content item.
    2. Enter the New Custom URL Path value in the Add New Custom URL... dialog.
      Important
      Ensure the path starts with a forward slash (/).
    3. Click Add.
      The custom URL displays in the URL Management view.
    4. Select or clear the Set URL checkbox for the new custom URL.

      This checkbox is cleared by default. If selected, the CMS changes your preferred URL from the default setting to this new custom URL.

      Note
      All other URLs to the page will redirect to your preferred (canonical) URL.
    5. Select or clear the MFO checkbox for the new custom URL.

      This checkbox is cleared by default. If selected, the CMS associates Multi-Format Output (MFO) publishing with the custom URL.

      Important
      To access this column, the system requires administrators to first configure MFO. See Setting up Multi-Format Output for details to configure MFO.
  6. Optional: You can select the Requires SSL checkbox in the Advanced area to apply a Secure Socket Layer to the page. Otherwise, leave the checkbox cleared.

Once you publish your changes to the publishing target, end users will be redirected to your preferred URL from any other listed URL on the site.
