Site Management

Site Management

View and manage all sites on your platform — including web pages, digital asset libraries, and externally hosted DAM sites. For ACME Creative Agency, this is where you oversee every client-facing site from a single dashboard.

Key Features

  • Site List: See all your sites at a glance — URL, type, status, SSL state, FTP domain, AirMail status, owner, storage usage, and creation date
  • Search & Filter: Find sites by name or URL, and narrow down by type (Page, DAM, External DAM) or status (Active, Suspended, Pending)
  • Add New Site: Create a site by providing a name, URL, type, and assigning an owner
  • Edit Site Details: Update a site's name, URL, type, status, and owner at any time
  • DNS Verification: Confirm your domain is correctly pointed to the server before enabling SSL
  • SSL Certificates: Provision, renew, or remove SSL certificates once DNS is verified — with an auto-renew option to keep things current
  • DAM Configuration: Connect a Digital Asset Management site to its FTP domain and database
  • Toggle Status: Switch any site between Active and Suspended with one click
  • Batch Actions: Select multiple sites to activate, suspend, or delete them all at once
  • Site Editor: Jump directly into the visual editor for any active, non-external site

How to Use

Add a New Site

  1. Click Add New Site in the top-right corner
  2. Enter the site name, URL (domain only, e.g. acme-creative.com), type, and owner
  3. Set the initial status and click Save Changes

Set Up DNS & SSL

  1. Open a site and go to the General tab
  2. Under DNS & SSL, add an A record at your domain registrar pointing to the server IP shown
  3. Click Check DNS to confirm the domain is correctly pointed
  4. Once verified, click Provision Certificate to activate HTTPS
  5. Enable Auto-renew to keep the certificate current — or use Renew Now to force immediate renewal
  6. Use Remove SSL to revoke the certificate if needed

Configure a DAM Site

  1. Open a DAM site and click the DAM tab
  2. Enter the FTP domain, select the linked database, and enter the user table name
  3. Click Test Table to verify the connection
  4. Optionally enable SSL for FTP access

Manage Status & Delete

  • Click Toggle Status on any site row to switch between Active and Suspended
  • A site must be Suspended before it can be deleted

Batch Operations

  1. Check the boxes next to the sites you want to manage
  2. Use the batch toolbar to Activate, Suspend, or Delete all selected sites at once

Tips

  • Sites of type DAM V7 (External) are tracked for reference only — use Open External to visit them directly
  • The Site Editor button only appears for active, non-external sites
  • DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours — if Check DNS fails, wait and try again
  • Storage usage is shown per site in the list, making it easy to spot heavy consumers
  • Module configuration for DAM sites is managed separately in Site Builder → Modules
