Inventorying Sites

Inventorying Site Collections

Site Collection List

When first deployed, the Webtrends Tag Manager will need to obtain a list of Site Collections within your tenancy. The inventory process can look for all sites in the environment (matching the desired template list), or for specific sites using the search functionality found in v3 and above.

Click the Inventory Site Collections button in the center of the screen or the Inventory button in the upper right to open the Inventory Site Collections side panel.

Inventory Site Collections Panel

Site Inventory Mode - If enabled in the web part configuration, you can choose between Search and All to inventory sites. If disabled in the web part configuration, the Site Inventory Mode toggle is not visible and Search mode is used.

All Mode

The Search form is disabled and Inventory Site Collections is enabled. Clicking the Inventory Site Collections button will query for all sites in the environment using * as the search term.

Search Mode

The Inventory Site Collections button is disabled. Clicking the Preview button will query for all sites that match the search criteria, as specified in the Site Name, Site URL, and Hub Site URL input fields. Clicking Inventory Site Collections becomes enabled after previewing results, and will inventory all sites found by the specified search query.

• Hub Site URL - This input fields searches for a single Hub Site using the Relative Path specified, then searches for all sites with the same Hub Site ID (Department ID) to provide the list of the hub and its spoke sites.

  Note:

  The preview for the list of sites is limited to the top 500 results, but the Inventory Site Collections query is not.

• Cancel - This closes the side panel without any further action.
• Inventory Site Collections - This queries for all matching sites (Search mode) or all sites (All mode) and populates the Site Collections list with the required data for each resulting site and closes the inventory panel.
