Site Settings in SharePoint 2013: Part 3

Introduction

Welcome back to the third part of the site settings in SharePoint 2013. Today we will cover the most important part of Site Administration. As you the see from the screen shot below, let us discuss them one by one.

Regional Settings

As we are aware of from the previous versions of SharePoint Regional settings we can change the Time Zone, Region and Calendar Configurations.

Language Settings

We don't need to translate our site as we can configure it to our own needs as we can see in the following screen.

Site Libraries and Lists

Here we can see all the libraries and lists in the site where when we click on a specific list to customize and it will take you to the list or Document Library settings page.

User Alerts

As per the following screen shot we don't see any alerts but if you add an alert in any of the lists then it will be shown here so you can globally see them here and delete if you want.

RSS

As we can see from the screen shot we can Enable RSS Feeds, providing the copyright, Managing Editor, Webmasters and Time to Live values.

Sites and Workspaces

Here we will be able to see all the sites and workspaces attached to the Site along with their Description, Date of Creation and an option to delete them.

Workflow Settings

Below we can see Workflows. All the workflows along with their current status will be present in the Site settings under the Workflow Settings. We can also track the current status of the Workflows that are in Progress.

Site Closure and Deletion

Below we can see an option for closing the site now as an App, just a click and the site will close. Then we have an option to delete the site and finally we can set the Site Policy that will delete or close the site automatically.

Site Output Cache

Here you can specify a cache profile for the caching page output for users and it will also receive the cache output of the authenticated users. As per the screen shot we can see a configuration output for cache profiles.

Term Store Management

Term Store Management is a very good feature.
It helps the developer set up a search module, making navigation tabs on the site and that too in a hierarchical manner then we have dictionaries enabling and so on and so on.
In short it has many things and soon my one article will be based on Term Store Management.

Popularity Trends

As we can see in the screen below Popularity trends is nothing but an Excel report generation with the documents most modified or downloaded in the site.

Content and Structure

When you come in here in Site settings you will see the all contents of your site including your sub sites. I have colored them up so that you don't see some peculiar test names.

Manage Catalog Connections

When you come up here you will be able to connect your site to a catalog, Once you click on it you will see the following icon to connect to a catalog.

All the catalogs you will add will be shown here in the following view.

Content and Structure Logs

As in here we can see it maintains the logs of all the updates as we will make any changes to the application, to any list, to any document.

Site Variation Settings

This feature is used to create and manage local specific sites in this site collection by synchronizing the content to one or more sites.

Here you can create a Label and Hierarchies. You can also set up Variation Settings and receive Variation Logs.

Translation Status

This is a new feature in 2013 where you can create a new item as per the following form.

Here you can export the time schedule for job completion and export by providing the following details.

Here it is Site settings Part 3 of SharePoint 2013.

Keep Learning. Cheers.
