Finding the Create Site Button

An Admin role is required to create a new site for crawl and analysis in DubBot.

Select Settings in the top navigation.
Sites is the default panel open. If you navigate to any other panel within Settings, you can always access the Sites settings from the left navigation in the Settings panel.
Select the Create Site button and you will be taken to the Create Site Panel

Setting highlighted in Secondary Nav and Create Site button highlighted in the Manage Sites panel in DubBot App.

If you don't see the Create Site button on the Manage Sites panel, you do not have an Admin role. If this is the case and you need to add a Site, please chat DubBot support so that we can work with your organization to determine the best path forward.

Site Name

Enter the Site Name. The Site Name displays on the Dashboard, Sites Listing, in the Site switcher, and email notifications.

There is also a checkbox for Enable site for checking. If this box is checked, the site will begin its first crawl when you create the site and with a frequency you select later in the setup process.

Crawler Type

Next, use the Crawler Type drop-down to select the type of site that you would like to create.

There are four different options for the type of site that you create.

The options are:

Default (Follow site hierarchy starting at URL)
Full Domain (Crawl everything on the domain starting at URL)
Sitemap
List of URLs - which can be made manually or you can upload a CSV

Sites options screen focused on Crawl Type field in DubBot App

The Default option is the most common Site type. The Default option allows users to crawl a whole site or a specific folder in a site and allows users to setup folder and page exclusions for a site.

Learn more about these Site Crawler Options.

Please email DubBot support or contact us via the app if you need help determining what the best configuration option is for your site.

Crawl Depth Limit

The Crawl Depth Limit is the maximum number of levels deep the crawler will go before stopping the crawl. Generally, 10 is sufficient, but this number is customizable.

Page Limit

The Page Limit is an approximation of how many pages the crawler will crawl before stopping. This allows administrators to put in an upper limit for page inventory. Leave blank or '0' for no limit.

Create

Select Create to save your site. If the Enable site for checking box is checked, the site is now in the queue to crawl.
