Managing shortcuts

To find out-of-the-box shortcuts, go to RiSE > Site Builder > Manage sitemaps.

Staff site navigation item shortcuts

Shortcuts that you can edit are not overwritten during an upgrade. Core content navigation items, however, are overwritten on upgrade. To tailor certain system content on your website, you can make a copy of the content and simply point existing shortcuts to the new content records. For example, several key Staff site navigation items use shortcuts, so you can point to tailored versions of Staff site pages by changing which content record the shortcuts use.

Before editing out-of-the box shortcuts, you should review the shortcut descriptions to identify system content which uses a shortcut. Examples include the account pages (including the staff account page), the staff event dashboard for a specific event, and the content used when adding a contact from various contexts. The majority of the shortcuts used in the Staff site are listed as All Sites shortcuts.

You can edit the following Staff site shortcuts which are used by system navigation items:

Note: Non-editable shortcuts, such as the ones used for the Member Responsive site, might be overwritten on upgrade.

iMIS shortcuts allow you to use short URLs to reference existing pages, and are also used by the iMIS system to navigate to well-known pages. It’s important to know where system shortcuts are being used, and to change the page the shortcuts are pointing to before going live with your website.

Example: For example, the Find products page uses the ~/ItemDetail shortcut to navigate to and display the product page. The product page uses the ~/Cart shortcut to display a View cart link when the item is added to the cart. You can change where system-defined links like these will go by updating shortcuts.

Note: A shortcut and a page must not share a name. iMIS will prioritize the page ahead of the shortcut when loading content.

You will also need to update these shortcuts after you have copies or new content records to display. For example, the out-of-the-box event page is called EventDetail. Do the following:

1. Make a copy of the Event Display content record.
2. If Current Event is selected in the Display when Cart contains drop-down on the Cart Checkout Button Link content item for a specific event, update content item connections:
   1. Open your copy of the Event Display content record.
   2. Click Connect on the Cart Checkout Button Link content item. A Connect window is displayed.
   3. Click Create a new connection.
   4. Select the appropriate content item in the Object Consumer drop-down:
      • Event Display (recommended)
      • Event Program Display
   5. Click Connect.
   6. Click the red X to close the Connect window.
3. Apply your own customizations.

After customizations are made, you will need to edit the Event Detail shortcut to point to your new page.

Do the following to create or modify a shortcut:

1. Go to RiSE > Site Builder > Manage shortcuts.
2. Click Add new.
3. Provide values for the shortcut URL:
1. Select the website you are creating a shortcut for in the For Websites drop-down list. The All Sites option only applies the shortcut to new or copied sites. The All Sites option does not apply to Quick Start Sites. Select a specific site to only apply the shortcut to a single website. If you enter an iMIS URL for the shortcut, it's important to ensure that all of your sites have the specified relative navigation item path in their respective sitemaps.
2. Select the shortcut you want to use in the Shortcut drop-down list, or enter a new Shortcut name. The Shortcut name should not be the same as the name of a website or a top-level folder in Page Builder.

Note: A shortcut and a page must not share a name. iMIS will prioritize the page ahead of the shortcut when loading content.

Note: Do not name a new shortcut Admin.

3. Enter the URL or content record in the URL or Content Record field. If you enter a URL, replace the site’s root URL with ~, for example ~/Events/Conferences/ConferenceList.aspx.
4. Enter a URL Parameter. You can tell the URL to open on a specific section of the page. For example, say you want event dashboards to open on the Showcase tab by default. In the URL Parameters field, enter Event_Dashboard=1.
5. Enter a description of the shortcut in the Description field.
4. Click Save.
5. You can click the Shortcut to test the link.

For example, create an Events shortcut that points to the Conference List page. You can do this either by entering the URL to the page (~/Events/Conferences/ConferenceList.aspx) or by selecting the content record (@/Events/Conferences/ConferenceList). After inserting the shortcut, the link www.yourwebsite/Events automatically displays www.yourwebsite/Events/Conferences/ConferenceList.aspx.

By default, shortcuts apply to all of your websites. For example, if you define an Events shortcut for all sites, the shortcut always displays the same content record, regardless of which website the user is visiting, www.yourwebsite/events or www.otherwebsite/events. But you can also define shortcuts for a specific site. For example, you might want your mobile website to display a different content record for www.mobilesite/events. In that case, select your mobile site from the ForWebsite drop-down list and point the Events shortcut to the content record you prefer.
