Creating a SharePoint Site

You can create a new SharePoint site via Content Matrix under an existing site collection or site as long as the connection type is not read-only.  If site creation is not valid for the connection type, the option will be disabled

The Create Site dialog displays, prompting you to enter the Site Title, Site URL Name, Description, and Template for the new site.

NOTE:  For Site URL Name, it is only necessary to enter the name of the site as you want it to appear in the URL, not the entire URL path.
