Page Sets allow users to filter existing Sites to various URL specifications or combine sites.
What is a Page Set used for?
Some examples of why you may want to use Page Sets:
You want to give a user access to only a part of a larger site you have already configured.
You want to gather pages from across other sites you have configured. For example, all pages that contain the word, 'accessibility'.
You want to combine the crawl information from several configured sites for reporting.
How to filter using Rules
Users can filter a Site(s) to pages that contain an exact value in the URL. An example would be using the value /blog/ : it would return all pages at mysite.org/blog/page-name
, but no pages at mysite.org/blog/2022/page-name
.
Users can filter a Site or Sites that contain a defined value in the URL. The example in the next image would include all URLs that include 'accessibility', such as /categories/accessibility/
or myorg/accessibilitystandards/
.
Users can also choose to filter by URLs that start with a defined value. The example in the next image would include all URLs that start with the value '/dubblog/', immediately following the root URL. This would match https://dubbot.com/dubblog/category
but would exclude https://dubbot.com/events/dubblog/
.
