Create a storefront

The storefront that you create using the Sterling Configurator Visual Modeler is only for administration purposes.

  7. Enter a skin URL for the new storefront. This should be a simple string and must be unique within the Visual Modeler. For example, you can use "anderel" or "storefront". This string will be used in URLs used to access the storefront. For example: 
    http://server:port/Sterling/en/US/enterpriseMgr/anderel
