Create a worker site

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will use the Casewhere Admin site to create a worker site for your application. (Read Worker site overview for more)

This tutorial will be divided into 2 parts:

  • In Part 1, you will learn how to add a default theme and configure the language.

    • If your Casewhere instance is brand new and this is your first deployment, the steps in this section are critical.

    • If you're familiar with themes and languages or your Casewhere instance has themes and languages configured, you can skip this step.

  • In Part 2, you will learn how to create a worker site with a URL accessible from the internet.

    You will set this link to be available for anonymous users, meaning anyone with the URL can see and interact with your application without any authentication requirement.

    We will walk through other authentication options of Casewhere, such as SAML 2.0 (i.e., integrating KK NemLog-in), username & password, and WS-Federation in the more advanced tutorials.
