As a best practice, you should create sites by copying or "cloning" the template previously created and tested by Deem during the implementation process.

To view the Site Cloning Checklist see Site Cloning Checklist.

Defining a Site as a Cloning Template

After logging into the Partner Dashboard as a super-domain administrator, the Sites | Overview page appears.
Click the Manage Site Templates link on the left side of the page. The Sites | Manage Site Templates page appears.
Hover your pointer over the name of a non-transacting site in the Available Sites section in order to display the Make Template link.
Click the Make Template link to select that site and make it a template. The site is moved to the Templates section on the right.
Click the Save button to save your changes.

Note: To commit all of your changes after saving them, click the changes not applied link at the top of the page. The Commit Changes page appears. Click the Commit button.

The template site is now available for cloning other sites. Cloned sites retain all the settings of the cloning template site with very few exceptions.
