Alfr-Community-5.2 Site template VS copying sites

[aladme]

Hi all, 

I'm planning to create around 200 sites (one by client), I've created the first one, I've tunned the site dashboard, rules on the site .... Do I need to repeat all this steps for every Customer Site?

Thanks a lot.

Finally, you can use rest API to create sites, with some defined site space templates (and their corresponding presets), that can be invoked programmatically via curl for example. 

Regards.

Site presets are extremely valuable for having sites with identical dashboard configurations. They do not affect the content structure, but since the preset is stored as a property on the site you could implement a custom behaviour to lookup a space template in Data Dictionary and use that to initialise the site doclib structure.
