Website Redirects

The Redirects button gives the adminstrator access to a listing of all redirects currently in use on a particular site (selected at the top center pull-down).

Redirect Properties

Redirects can be used to steer an incoming URL request that doesn't exist to a page that does exist.

For example, the district's Email Signature Generator app exists on a separate domain from the website. It is useful, however, to direct employees to asd20.org/email-signature because the asd20.org domain is already familiar to them. Since there is no /email-signature address on the website, a redirect is created to direct that traffic to the domain where the app is stored.

Each Redirect requires the following properties:

• From: the incoming address to be intercepted (in the example above, '/email-signature')
• To: Where to redirect the 'from' traffic to
• Status: the HTTPS status code to be reported (typically 301, meaning a permanent redirect)
• Checkboxes: Force or Disabled:
  • Force: forces any http request to be redirected to https
  • Disabled: disables the redirect without deleting it
