for that folder in the administrative
object directory.An Experience Definition defines a user experience, such as branding style, navigation, and the default home for a user when they log in or when they are in a particular Experience Definition. The Experience Definition controls the following:
Whether or not to enable features that let users personalize their own pages, join communities, and browse the Knowledge Directory.
The default headers and footers and the navigation scheme. The headers and footers can be overridden at the community level.
Logged in users are directed to a particular Experience Definition in two ways (in the following order):
If they satisfy a rule you create in the Experience Rules Manager
If they are created in a folder that is associated with the Experience Definition
If neither of the above conditions are met, users experience the default Experience Definition created at installation.
Unauthenticated (or guest) users are directed to an Experience Definition also based on rules. In addition you can create multiple guest users, customize their My Pages, and associate each guest to a specific Experience Definition. Click here for an example.
To associate a folder to the Experience Definition, click Add Folder. Users in this folder will see this Experience Definition only if no other Experience Rules apply. Typically, the administrative folders will also contain all of the resources needed by a particular audience of users. By securing these folders appropriately and applying Experience Definition settings to them, you can create a completely separate and discreet user experience for many different audiences.
When an administrative folder has been associated with an Experience
Definition, you will see for that folder in the administrative
object directory.
