Adding new sites and entities to an existing database

To initiate a request to add a site or entity to an existing database, use the Site Management form. The request includes information about the site as well as a contact email. If the request is successful, the site is added to the database associated with the configuration where you accessed the Site Management form. If the request fails, an email that describes the error is sent.

You can correct the errors and try again to add the site. To add a new site:

  1. Select Configuration > Administration > Site Management .
  2. Specify this information:
    Site
    The site ID.
    Note: The maximum allowed site ID character is set to 8. This ID is used as the default configuration name
