Creating Domain Documentation

Define the documents or information a domain extension needs from clients before you can register it. Add the instructions that explain what to submit.

Opening the Screen

Open this form from Domain Documentation. Click Create Documentation for a new extension, or open a row's menu and click Edit for an existing one. The addresses are {admin}/products/domain/docs/add and {admin}/products/domain/docs/edit?tld={extension}.

What Is on the Screen

A language tab strip lets you fill every field in more than one language. The Required Documents card lists each document or information item you ask for. Each row has a name, a type, and a drag handle to reorder it. The Instructions card holds a message shown to the client while they order the domain.

Fields

Tasks

Adding a Document or Information Item

Click Add under Required Documents. Enter its name in your primary language, then choose its type. Other languages are optional; in one you leave blank, the client sees the primary-language name.

Setting Up File and Select Box Types

For a File type, enter the allowed extensions and the maximum size in MB. For a Select Box type, click Add Option for each choice and name it in your primary language.

Reordering or Removing an Item

Drag an item by its handle to change its order. Click its trash icon to remove it; at least one item must remain.

Writing the Client Instructions

Fill in Instructions for each language. Clients see this text on their domain order's detail page, next to the documents they need to submit.

Saving the Requirement

Enter the Domain Extension, then click Create for a new requirement or Save Changes if you opened it for editing.
