Updated Redirect Creation Tutorial

Go to your CMS site /friendly_links.php.

example
https://cms#.revize.com/revize/!!!/friendly_links.php
Where the # is the cms number you use and the !!! is your webspace name.

You can click the New Redirect button and create a redirect here.

The Friendly URL (Alias) field is what you want to be your redirect
Example
Enter dog into the field
the redirect would equal
yourdomain.gov/dog

The URL field is where you want the redirect to go. You would want to use your live domain/site URL
Enter into the field
https://www.yourdomain.gov/departmens/dogs_information/index.php

In this example
yourdomain.gov/dog would now redirect to
https://www.yourdomain.gov/departmens/dogs_information/index.php
