Escape to Login Configuration for Site Management Tools

The Escape to Login feature allows users to access Site Management Tools either by pressing the Escape key or through a direct URL. This feature is particularly useful for enhancing workflow efficiency in managing web properties in SuiteCommerce Advanced.

Enabling or Disabling Escape to Login

To configure this feature, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Commerce > Websites > Configuration.
2. Select your website and domain, then click Configure.
3. Within the SuiteCommerce Configuration record, go to the Integrations tab and then the Site Management Tools subtab.
4. To disable access via the Escape key, check the Disable Esc Key to Login box. Clear the box to enable this feature.

How Escape to Login Works

• When the Disable Esc Key to Login option is enabled, pressing the Escape key on your site’s homepage takes you to the login screen for Site Management Tools.
• If you have logged in already, pressing the Escape key will show the Site Management Tools toolbar.
• When the Disable Esc Key to Login option is disabled, you can access Site Management Tools using a specific URL:
  • For Kilimanjaro or later: http://my.webstore/cms/3/admin/cms.jsp
  • For Elbrus or earlier: http://my.webstore/cms/2/admin/cms.jsp

Best Practices

• Always verify which CMS Adapter version you are using to determine the appropriate URL access method. You can do this by checking your Commerce web stores configuration.
• Opt for the Escape key login option if you frequently need to switch between managing content and viewing the site, as it can speed up your workflow.

Related Considerations

• Users and Roles in Site Management Tools: Understand the role definitions to ensure proper access.
• Assigning Permissions: Customize access controls for your team to streamline management tasks.

By understanding and configuring the Escape to Login feature, you can improve your team’s efficiency when managing your Site Management Tools.
