This document gives instructions on how to migrate from another service to Web Governance.

First Steps

• Inform stakeholders: It is important to notify your organizations about Web Governance and what it can help with. 
  ​
• Create domains: See the User Guide Article: Add domains
  ​
• Add policies: See the Web Governance user guide articles for full instructions about policies:
  • Configure policies
• Install the Web Governance script: See the Web Governance user guide article: Add script
• Set up a training session for your stakeholders: See the Web Governance product support scope

Create groups

Create domain groups manually or provide an export for Web Governance to upload. 
​
To do a bulk transfer of groups:

• Export your groups. The export should look something like this:
• Prepare the file and send it to Web Governance in an Excel, Google Sheets, or .csv file. The following fields are the ones that need to be in the .csv upload to Web Governance:
  • Group Name --> Group Name
  • Match Type --> URL
  • Match Type --> That “contains, exactly...”
  • Match Conditions --> Match Rule
  • True/False --> Included/Excluded

For more information, see the user guide article:

• Create and configure groups

Create users

This section gives instructions on how to add new users and assign them to domain groups.

• Export the user list from your current system.
• Do a bulk import of the users to Web Governance.
  • Convert the user list to a .CSV file format. You may need to contact the service provider directly for help if you cannot export your user list.
  • The .CSV must include the following fields (password is optional):
    • Email
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Password (optional)
    • Administrator status (Yes or No only).

For more information, see the user guide article:

• Create and configure users
• User roles

Create dictionary

Export your dictionary and send it to Web Governance in an Excel, Google Sheets, or .csv file with the following three column headers:

• Word: The word to add to the dictionary.
• Decision: Specify if the word is Approved for Siteor Dictionary.
• Language: The language that the words should be added to (for example, American English, Spanish (Spain), and so on).
• Note

  If the sheet contains multiple languages to import, please create a new sheet for each language.
  ​
  Example of a dictionary input file and another file for a new language.

  Word	Decision	Language
  ExampleWord1	Dictionary	American English
  ExampleWord2	Dictionary	American English

  Example 2

  Word	Decision	Language
  ProperName	Dictionary	All Languages
  ProductName	Dictionary	All Languages

Create a misspellings list

Similar to the Dictionary export, do an export for the misspelled words list and send it to Web Governance in an Excel, Google Sheets, or .csv file with the following three column headers:

• Word: The word to add to the Confirmed Spelling Errors list.
• Decision: Specify that the word is a Misspelling.
• Language: The language that the words should be added to (for example, American English, Spanish (Spain), etc.).

Provide an exported CSV file for these exports to your launch manager.
