Page Sets allow Administrators to filter existing Sites to various URL specifications or combine sites using Include and Exclude rules.
What is a Page Set used for?
Some examples of why you may want to use Page Sets:
To give a user access to only a part of a larger site you have already configured.
To gather pages from other sites you have configured. For example, all pages that contain the word, 'accessibility'.
To combine the crawl information from several configured sites for reporting.
Adding Pages to a Page Set
Pages are added to a Page Set by choosing the type of INCLUDE needed for the Page Set from the three dropdown options:
include all pages - includes all the pages in all of the sites you will select, dependent upon any exceptions you may enter.
only pages matching all - includes a subset of pages from the sites you will select matching ALL of the rules that you will configure
only pages matching any - includes a subset of pages from the sites you will select matching ANY of the rules that you will configure
Excluding Pages from a Page Set
Excluding pages is also done by setting up rules, but they work the opposite of Include Rules.
Exclude page rules are not required for a Page Set.
Exclude rules always work as a matching any, meaning that any page in the selected sites for the Page Set that match any of the exclude rules configured, are not included in the Page Set.
Creating Rules
Include and Exclude Rules are configured with the same setup. You choose what type of rule you want to create from the four options:
Path equals - include or exclude pages that contain an exact value in the URL
Path starts with - include or exclude URLs that start with a defined value
Path contains - include or exclude pages that contain a defined value anywhere in the URL
Title contains - include or exclude URLs based on a page's title in the HTML
