Host Find, Edit, and Filter on your Web Server

Find, Edit, and Filter can optionally be hosted on a Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) web server.

To host Find, Edit, and Filter on your web server, complete the following steps:

  1. Download and unzip the Find, Edit, and Filter application files.
  2. Copy the contents to your web server so it can be accessed as a website or virtual directory. In IIS, the default web server directory is <your directory>\Inetpub\wwwroot\.
  3. Browse to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  4. Right-click the web server directory folder for the application and choose Convert to Application.
  5. Choose the ASP.NET v4.0 or ASP.NET v4.5 application pool and click OK.
  6. Type the URL http://<yourServer>/<yourSite>/s2.html?app=apps2/FindEditFilter_try_it into your Internet browser with the appropriate substitutions. This will open a fully-configured version of Find, Edit, and Filter and will confirm that the application is properly set up on the web server. The apps2 folder also contains a clean configuration file, FindEditFilter.json, for you to work with that is available using the following URL <your server>/<your site>/s2.html?app=apps2/FindEditFilter.

To learn more about configuring the FindEditFilter.json file, see Additional configuration.
