The following checklist will walk you through the basic steps required for setting up sites within the ACM.
System concepts: Read the topics in the System concepts folder:
Site groups overview (System Administrators only, not applicable to site group administrators)
Global variables: Set global system variables. The settings you make here will affect all sites created in the system. You can then customize the variables as needed on a site-by-site basis.
Create sites: Complete these topics (found in the Creating sites help folder):
Setting site variables These variables will override the global variables.
Configuring sites for translation (optional - only if you have a multiple language requirement)
Design packages: Edit and re-upload the Design Packages for each of the sites you have created. See Site design overview.
Folder structures: Create organizing structures in ACM. Whether it's users, digital assets, groups or pagelets, you will want to have folder structures in place where you can store these items as you create or import them. Otherwise, all of your users and content will be lumped together and unworkable.
Create user group folders
Create pagelets categories
Users and user groups:
Workflows: This is where you set up content editing permissions for groups of users. Workflows also control which groups have access to which areas of content throughout a site.
