Where the framework for all Symphony sites is defined configured & sites are created.
Syndication
Syndication is the process by which a Conductor user pushes content to a group of local sites.
This is done by clicking the Syndication button on the far-right of the edit actions. If the content has already been syndicated, the number of sites that have been syndicated to will be shown instead of the syndicate icon:
When the syndicate button is clicked, the syndication window pops up. Divisions that have been syndicated to will appear red and when opened, show which site types have been syndicated to with checkboxes:
To Syndicate to new site types or remove syndicated content from sites, just check or un-check the checkbox next to that site type.
Share with DHQ
If a conductor instance is configured to use the DHQ Conductors feature, syndication from THQ is not directly allowed. Instead, the syndication window will show "Share with DHQ" in place of the usual site type checkboxes:
After an asset has been shared with DHQ, the DHQ conductor can log in and decide which site types they would like to syndicate to within their division.
Property Builders & Sections
Theater Manager
Same as Local Sites Theater Space
Conductors also have the ability to use Custom HTML when creating theater slides:
Seed Content
Seed content is the default data that is used when creating a site. The intent behind Seed Content is that if the Local Admin never edits the site, it will still be able to provide meaningful information to visitors.
Currently Seed Content is just a JSON blob of data, so typically we'll have the user create an example site the way they want, and we'll pull the data from that site to make the seed content. Typically, this will only ever need to happen once – when a new Conductor instance is created.
Ways to Give

Buttons / Actions
Refresh GDOS Data
To improve performance, when sites are loaded from GDOS, the results are cached locally in your browser. If for any reason your site list isn't loading correctly try refreshing your GDOS data.
Reload Site List
This simply reloads the list of sites in your view. It has mostly the same effect as refreshing the page.
Refresh Metro Sites Locations
To improve performance, when sites are loaded from GDOS, the results are cached locally in your browser. The results are also cached in the database per division to be used by the Metro Area Sites Local Sites list. If address changes are made to GDOS you can click this button to refresh that data so that the new address information is available in the metro area site list.
