Dynamic Site Management

Overview

As an Appian Developer, I want to:

• Add another level of nesting in a Sites Page so that I can pack more content into an Appian Site which is limited to five Pages
• Track adoption/usage of Appian Sites/Pages/Views so that I can see where users are spending their time
• Add a sitemap that links to important pages and resources across my system
• Easily display components in a tabular layout

As an Appian End User, I want to:

• Have Appian remember which Site Page View I was on so that I can return to it at my next session
• Get a deep link to an Appian Site Page View so that I can bookmark or share a direct link to it [Not supported in the Appian Mobile App. Only supported in desktop or mobile web browsers.]
