Adding a Site
Add sites to Business Directory to indicate which instances of TDV you want to view.
When you add a site to Business Directory, you are also adding that site’s users to Business Directory. This includes LDAP domains and users, and certain composite domain users. The following composite domain users are not added to Business Directory: anonymous, unknown, monitor, nobody, system.
Note: TDV Server must be up and running when adding/editing sites in Business Directory.
To add a site
1. Make sure the user you are logged in as Admin, or as a user with the Admin access right.
2. Select ADMIN > SITES.
