To define a pretty URL template for a document or topic:

Select Add template.
Place one or more metadata keys between curly brackets. Separate the metadata keys with any character: slashes (/) are best-suited.

For example:
```
{product}/{version}/{ft:title}
```
In topic templates, the document. and parents-and-self. prefixes allow access to the metadata of both the document and the parent topics. See Topic templates metadata.
Add metadata requirements.
Order the templates by priority.

It is possible to drag-and-drop templates.

Pretty URL templates apply in the order in which they are listed. For this reason, place more specific templates (for example, a template with multiple metadata requirements) at the top of the list. Place less specific templates (for example, a template with no requirement) at the bottom.
Apply the templates, or save the draft.

For more examples of templates, see the use cases section of the Create Perfect Pretty URLs document.

Defining rules to automatically generate pretty URLs does not override any existing manually-created pretty URLs.
Two publications can have the same URL, which makes it impossible to choose the target publication. Create unique pretty URLs.
For a template to apply to a publication, the publication must have all of the metadata keys defined in the template. For this reason, always add a catch-all template (with no requirement and based on a built-in metadata key, such as ft:title).
If a publication does not match any requirement, its URL is:

Portal URL + /r/ + the ft:publicationId value of the document + / + ft:tocId value of the topic
