Add site to hierarchy

As you expand your system, you can add sites to your top site and to its child sites as long as the system is set up correctly.

When adding a non-secure site to Milestone Federated Architecture, make sure that Allow non-secure connections to the server is enabled under Tools > Options > General settings in Management Client.

1. Select the Federated Site Hierarchy pane.
2. Select the site to which you want to add a child site, right-click, and click Add Site to Hierarchy.
3. Enter the URL of the requested site in the Add Site to Hierarchy window and click OK.
4. The parent site sends a link request to the child site and after a while, a link between the two sites is added to the Federated Site Hierarchy pane.
5. If you can establish the link to the child site without requesting acceptance from the child site administrator, go to step 7.

   If not, the child site has the awaiting acceptance icon until the administrator of the child site has authorized the request.

6. Make sure that the administrator of the child site authorizes the link request from the parent site (see Accept inclusion in the hierarchy).
7. The new parent/child link is established and the Federated Site Hierarchy pane is updated with the icon for the new child site.
