Special URLs
Special URLs are fixed addresses of Xanti functions, such as logging in or searching. They don't belong to a page, but you can link to them, for example from the menu.
Choosing a special URL
- For a menu item, click Choose URL, or in the editor click the chain (Link).
- In the window, click Special URLs on the left, below the folders.
- You see a list with a title and a URL, for example Login and
/logon. Click the URL you want and click Choose (for a menu item) or OK (in the editor).
You can also type the address yourself. Then put the address of your website in front of it, for example https://www.example.com/logon.

In the admin
The list also has a few addresses that start with Admin:, such as Admin: Birthdays. They only work for webmasters and open an overview in the admin. So don't put them in the menu of your website.
