How to Use the Screen

1. Enter your URL, Admin Login ID and Admin Password in the   Web Service Settings tab.

2. Use the check boxes to select the files to be uploaded to your store. (See Descriptions below). It is best to select only information that has changed to make the process more efficient. If you are using the screen for the first time to create a new SiteLINK store or want to update all of your SiteLINK data, use the All Files option to include all files.

Note: After the initial upload, SiteLINK will only send changes to SiteLINK, which reduces file transfer times.   If you want to send the complete files to SiteLINK, select the Send complete files - not just changes since last update checkbox.

3. After making your selections, use the UPDATE SITELINK button to send the files to the Dydacomp server.  Your SiteLINK store is now updated.
