Brightspot CMS User Guide

Site-specific settings


Some settings are specific to your site, meaning they are not available at the Global level and thus do not cascade down the hierarchy. This topic details these settings.

Site-specific settings—Main tab


FieldDescription
SEO Display NameAppends this value in the <title> tag to the asset's title.

For example, if you have an article Benefits of GraphQL, and in this field you add GraphQL API Site, then the title tag is <title>Benefits of GraphQL - GraphQL API Site</title>.
URLsList of URLs that prefix all pages in this site.

Brightspot truncates any trailing slashes. For example, an entry https://www.example.com in this list creates URLs of the form https://www.example.com/example-page.

For details, see Site URLs.

Site-specific settings—Front-End tab


FieldDescription
