The inventory process can look for all sites in the environment (matching the desired [template list](/v1/docs/webtrends-tag-manager-web-part-configurations)), or for specific sites using the search functionality found in v3 and above. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2892%29.png) 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. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2894%29.png) --- ### Inventory Site Collections Panel **Site Inventory Mode** - If enabled in the [web part configuration](/v1/docs/webtrends-tag-manager-web-part-configurations), 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. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2895%29.png) #### 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. Note: The 3 search fields use an **AND** operation to narrow the results. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2896%29.png) --- ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2897%29.png) --- #### Search Form - **Site Name** - This input fields searches for all sites with a matching Title. Note: Results are limited to the current **Geo** of the tenancy. - *Wildcards* (*) are supported, e.g., Webtrends* will return the *Webtrends Tag Manager* site. - **Site URL** - This input fields searches for sites using the Relative Path specified. Note: To search for the *root* site collection, use "/" as the value. Note: The domain is automatically included in the search query. Note: Results are limited to the current **Geo** of the tenancy. - *Wildcards* (*) are supported, e.g., /sites/webtrends-tag* will return the */webtrends-tag-manager* site. - **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 domain is automatically included in the search query. Note: Results are limited to the current **Geo** of the tenancy. - *Wilcards* (*) are **not** supported. This requires an exact match for the hub site relative path. Searching for a **spoke** site will **not** return results. Search for the main hub site instead. - **Clear** - This button clears all the input fields to perform a new search. - **Preview** - This button runs the search query and displays any matching results in the *Search Preview* section below. --- - **Search Preview** - This section displays matching results for the search query and the number of results found using the specified criteria. Note: The preview for the list of sites is limited to the top 500 results, but the *Inventory Site Collections* query is not. - The list of results shows the **Title** and **URL** of the site. - The **URL** is clickable to open the site in a *new tab*. - The list of results is *scrollable*. --- - **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*. --- As the *Inventory Site Collections* query completes, a list of sites will begin to appear in the web part UI. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2898%29.png) Note: Depending on the size of the tenancy, searching for **all** sites may be a long running task. This task can be sped up or slowed down (to avoid throttling) using the [web part configuration > **API Config**](/v1/docs/webtrends-tag-manager-web-part-configurations) options. Note: The search API is used to obtain a list of site collections in the tenancy and collect metadata about each site. Therefore: - SP search must be configured to allow each site to be displayed within the results. - The user performing the inventory must have at least *Site Visitor* level permissions on each site to see it in the results. - Newly created sites may take at *least* 15 minutes to be indexed before they appear within the search results. - Each site must use an allowed template type. - The allowed template types to query are now editable in the [web part configuration > **Site Inventory Templates**](/v1/docs/webtrends-tag-manager-web-part-configurations) list. Not all template types have been tested. - Please contact [Technical Support](https://www.webtrends.com/support/help-center/) for assistance if you find a template type that causes an error.
