 Starting Version 5.8, the concepts of a Launchpad and a Default Site were introduced to facilitate user access when the same business has multiple sites, say, an ERP site, a Web Store and an Employee Portal.
+====Default Site====
+The default site can be expressly defined in
+       System Administration->Settings->Defaults
+If you do not define a default site, the system automatically determines default site in the following manner:
+  * If there is only one active site in the business, it automatically assumed to be the default site, or lese
+  * If you have an active site named Home in the business, or else
+  * If you have an active site named ERP in the business, or else
+  * Any active site randomly assigned.
+====Direct Access through URL====
+To access a site directly from your URL, say, mydomain.com, use
+  * http://mydomain.com to access the directory.
+  * http://myshortname.mydomain.com to access the default site of the business whose short name is myshortname.
+  * http://mysitename.myshortname.mydomain.com to access the site mysitename.
+Notes:
+(1) For the global directory to work correctly, make sure your system has business id 1 which implements the global directory. Run the following SQL commands from initdb to update the site.
+<code>
+update zbusiness set zorg='Directory of Sites' where zid=1;
+update pxskins set xtemplate='Global.html', xcss='Global.css' where zid=1;
+update pxsites set xpathsite=''  where zid=1;
+</code>
+(2) Copy the **index.html** from the repository and overwrite the existing one on both **da** and **ROOT** contexts.
+====The Launchpad====
+The Launchpad is the default Home site for a business which can be used by the internal users to launch various sites in the business. When you launch a site from the Launchpad, you always return to Launchpad. Outside users may be given only the URL directly going to the sites of their interest.
+To install Launchpad for a business, after logging in to the ERP site, delete the portal as well as the skin with the name **Home**, if any. Thereafter, change the page parameter to **page=catest** to start the test page. Once in **catest**, Run the command
+<code>
+call caaddhome
+</code>
+Now, if you click on the company name/logo in the Directory or access using http://myshortname.mydomain.com you will be taken to the Launchpad of the business.
