Site Service

Site Service is an application that lets you create and manage your websites, sections of your websites and section metadata, section custom fields, and navigational hierarchies. The Site Service data allows the system to: 

  • segment your content logically,

  • generate URLs for your content,

  • display navigation menus to your readers,

  • add section metadata into the ANS of content circulated there.

As a digital-first publishing platform, content in Arc XP organizes around websites. Your organization must have one website but may have up to 100 websites. The Site Service application manages the details of your website name, domain, and  subdirectories.

Site Service has three main components:

  1. Websites - are the location where you publish your content in Arc XP. Your organization has at least one website but may have up to 100 websites.

  2. Sections - are subdirectories of websites that allow users to navigate your site. You an divide a website into maximum 500 sections.

  3. Navigation hierarchies - are curated lists of links to help your users navigate your site sections. you may create as many navigation hierarchies as you need. For example, you can create a profile with links to all available sections to allow readers to navigate every section in your website, applying to a vertical menu in the website, and a smaller profile with only a few links to use in an area of the website with a smaller footprint. You can also create a navigation profile for use in Arc XP editorial tools.

Arc XP also has an API service to programmatically create, retrieve, update, and remove websites, sections, and navigation profiles. To learn more about the API, visit the Site Service API documentation.
