Using Presets to Quickly Configure Program

A1 Sitemap Generator includes presets to ease configuration various places:

user interface quick presets

When you select a preset, various options are set which are otherwise only accessible when easy mode has been switched off.

You can combine the presets found in Scan website, e.g. a CMS website platform preset and an image sitemap preset.

Note: Presets are usually not necessary, but can improve website scan results.


Quick Filtering of URLs after Site Scan Has Finished

You can combine different kinds of quick filters after the website scan has finished.

This is useful if you want to find and solve site problems like URLs with duplicate content or mass delete URLs from website scan results. (This can e.g. be useful if you want to create sitemaps.)

Note: The filtering options available will depend on which specific product and version you are using from the A1 series and TechSEO360.

Example #1:
Uses no special filter tools: Text filter uses all columns. Filters by only using the text string index of: Only shows URLs where "index of" appears in any of the visible data columns.
