Configuration Step 1: Select Sites

The first step in configuring the Data Publisher is identifying where you want the Data Publisher to look for source and destination lists or libraries. This is done on the Select Sites screen. All of the fields on this screen are described below. When you are ready to move to the next configuration screen, click the Store Settings button and then select the link in the lower right corner of the screen.

Site URL

Identify the URL for the top-level site that contains the source and destination lists you want use. You can select lists from sites up to 7 levels down from the URL you identify here. If you want to specify an additional URL, click Add Another URL below this field. A field will be provided where you can identify another URL. Remember that you can have a since source and multiple destination lists or libraries.

NOTE: All of the URLs you identify here must reside within the same configuration database where the Data Publisher is installed.

Levels to Search

As stated above, you can have the Data Publisher look for lists and libraries up to 7 levels down from the URL(s) identified in the Site URL field. Use the Levels to Search field to specify how many levels down you want to look.

Show Hidden Lists

Toggle this checkbox on if there are any hidden lists that you want to have available for copying or moving as either a source or a destination. When the available lists and libraries are displayed later in the configuration process, the hidden lists will be included.

Use Relative URL

If the sites that hold the lists and libraries you want to work with are all located below the site on which the Data Publisher is instantiated, you can enable this checkbox. Then, rather than typing the entire URL in the "Site URL" field, you can simply type the URL from the current site down to the site where the lists are located.

Example:
If the Data Publisher is on http://www.corasworks.net/samplesites/demo.aspx and the lists are on http://www.corasworks.net/samplesites/demo/training.aspx, you could select this checkbox and then just type /demo/training in the "Site URL" field.

MySite Setup

If you are running SPS, this field is used to identify how your organization's My Sites are set up. If you want to work with lists and libraries in your My Site, you must provide the URL for your My Site in the Site URL field above. Then, when the available lists and libraries are displayed in the next step in the configuration process, it will include the lists and libraries from your My Site.
