NOTE: This topic applies only to versions of the Workplace View Advanced web part from before the Summer 2005 release. If you are working with the Summer 2005 or a later release, please see the WVA Admin: Tab topics.

Administration Properties

Site URL

(Optional) Enter the URL for the first site you want to access and from which you want to return management links, sites, and lists. This can be any SharePoint site that resides on the same server as this web part. The format for the URL must be:
http://Site-URL/SiteName.

Examples:
http://www.sitename.com/ http://www.sitename.com;http://www.sitename2.com 
http://www.sitename.com/site1
http://www.sitename.com/site1/site1a

If you leave this field blank, it will default to the site where the web part is instantiated.

Site Levels Returned

(Optional) Enter the number of levels to be searched to find sites and lists for the web part. The maximum number of levels is 7, the default is 1. If you want to include more than one level, be sure to enter a numerical value in this box.

Please make sure that a number is entered in this field. If you spell out a number, it will result in an error and no lists will be found.

Toggle this checkbox on to show the Self Management folder for each site returned.

Show Administration

Toggle this checkbox on to show the Administration folder for each site returned.

Show Lists

Use Relative URL

Toggle this checkbox on to make the hostname entered in the URL irrelevant. This is useful if you expect that you will move from one hostname to another in the future.

Example:
http://www.hostname.com/site1 - the "http://www.hostname.com" will be replaced with the current hostname.
