When starting Make for the first time, Make will verify if the required lists and library are present. If not, these will be created automatically. The following lists are required by Make:
- Make Configurations
- Make Item Queue
- Make Batch Queue
Make Configurations
This is a document library containing the configurations. As a best practice, each configuration is stored in its own folder. The folder contains all the XML (individual template) and Assets files.
Figure 1: Make Configurations
The library is created at the location ~site\Make Configurations and has the title Make Configurations.
The following meta data is required for this library:
| Display Name | Internal Name | Field Type | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | Title | Single line of text | Configuration title |
| Configuration Version | ConfigurationVersion | Single line of text | E.g. 1.0 |
| Description | ConfigurationDescription | Multiple lines of text | Configuration description |
| Start Object Type | StartObjectType | Single line of text | Valid values:Tenant or Web |
| Parameters | ConfigurationParameters | Multiple lines of text | JSON formatted controlled by the Make application |
| Disabled | Disabled | Yes/No |
Each configuration should contain at least one of the following files:
- Configuration.xml
- Playlist.xml
- Update.xml
Each of these files should have proper metadata values to have the configuration visible in the Make application.
