Our goal at DubBot is to let users log in and start using DubBot without extensive training. We do, however, realize it is important to provide some guidance to make initial adoption smooth and painless.
The following outlines the steps account administrators will need to take, along with additional documentation on how to use DubBot. We strongly encourage all new users to contact support if they have any questions or concerns during this phase.

1. Set up DubBot to start the inventory of your content
To begin using DubBot, specify which content you want DubBot to inventory. You can tell DubBot what content to inventory in the Site settings.
You can set up content scans to be based on a full domain, a section of a full domain, a sitemap, a manually entered list of pages, or a list of pages supplied to DubBot via CSV.
Read more in the Site Setup article.
Be aware that initial site crawls will create an influx of traffic on the server when we discover pages and files for the first time. The crawler's static IP is 34.213.65.175, and the proxy's static IP is 52.36.131.191.
2. Set up your Users
Once you have your content set up for inventory by DubBot, you can add users to have access to all content in your DubBot account or to specific Sites or Page Sets.
First, add users via the Users menu option. If you want users to have access only to specific sites in DubBot, set the user's initial Role in the Users menu to Determined at Site/Page Set Level.
Learn more in the User Setup article and Abilities for Each Role article.
3. Add Policies
DubBot will automatically check for accessibility, spelling, and bad link issues. You will likely have additional web governance or organization-specific checks you would like to run alongside the automated checks.
DubBot has a Policy Library that allows a simple point-and-click implementation of more specific checks for your account. This library is populated with the most often requested policies (custom checks) of our clients. You can also Create a Policy on your own for checks very specific to your use case.
These policies can be added at any time, so you can add them as needed.
If you have a check that you would like to run but are unsure of how to build it, please Contact us for Help.
