Manage Users MenuImport Site ToolsManage Sites Capabilities3.2 Uploading SitesAdministrators can upload new sites to the TruView Global Project Vault. Once uploaded, these siteswill become available for users to see and visit. The process requires a few easy steps. You must first "Pack" the TruView data set using the TruView Pack and Go tool.

Select the "Add Sites" Data Sets"button from the TruView Global Sites page and the "Upload Newpage will open.5

Simply drag and drop the *.TVG file you created with the Pack and Go tool and it shouldbegin to upload immediately.The system will provide feedback regarding the progress of the upload.Once the upload stage has completed you will receive feedback that it is done. However, theprocess itself still has more steps beyond uploading. Once the data is uploaded, it then needsto be imported to the system databases.Administrators can also monitor the progress of the importing process by using the "ImportQueue" button and they will see the following page which provides again real-timefeedback of the progress. Once this importing process is completed, the site is immediatelyavailable to users.One final monitoring capability is accessed via the Import Log button. This button opens apage which has logged all of the recent uploading and importing activities. If there are anyproblems with your uploads and imports, you can find descriptions of the errors here.
