We strongly recommend moving to the new schema, v.2. For more info, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md). If you don't want to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you also have the option to update your XML schema using Notepad, or any other XML-editing app. ## Enterprise Mode schema v.1 example The following is an example of the Enterprise Mode schema v.1. This schema can run on devices running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. > [!IMPORTANT] > Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `contoso.com` automatically applies to both http://contoso.com and https://contoso.com. ```xml www.cpandl.com www.woodgrovebank.com adatum.com contoso.com relecloud.com /about fabrikam.com /products contoso.com /travel fabrikam.com /products ``` ### Schema elements This table includes the elements used by the Enterprise Mode schema.
Element Description Supported browser
<rules> Root node for the schema.

Example 

<rules version="205">
  <emie>
    <domain>contoso.com</domain>
  </emie>
</rules>
 Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge
<emie> The parent node for the Enterprise Mode section of the schema. All <domain> entries will have either IE8 Enterprise Mode or IE7 Enterprise Mode applied.

Example 

<rules version="205">
  <emie>
    <domain>contoso.com</domain>
  </emie>
</rules>
-or-

For IPv6 ranges:

<rules version="205">
  <emie>
    <domain>[10.122.34.99]:8080</domain>
  </emie>
  </rules>
-or-

For IPv4 ranges:

<rules version="205">
  <emie>
    <domain>10.122.34.99:8080</domain>
  </emie>
  </rules>
 Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge
<docMode> The parent node for the document mode section of the section. All <domain> entries will get IE5 - IE11 document modes applied. If there's a <domain> element in the <docMode> section that uses the same value as a <domain> element in the <emie> section, the <emie> element is applied.

Example 

<rules version="205">
  <docMode>
    <domain docMode="7">contoso.com</domain>
  </docMode>
</rules>
 Internet Explorer 11
<domain> A unique entry added for each site you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The first <domain> element will overrule any additional <domain> elements that use the same value for the section. You can use port numbers for this element.

Example 

<emie>
  <domain>contoso.com:8080</domain>
</emie>
 Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge
<path> A unique entry added for each path under a domain you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The <path> element is a child of the <domain> element. Additionally, the first <path> element will overrule any additional <path> elements in the schema section.

Example 

<emie>
  <domain exclude="true">fabrikam.com
    <path exclude="false">/products</path>
  </domain>
</emie>

Where https://fabrikam.com doesn't use IE8 Enterprise Mode, but https://fabrikam.com/products does.

 Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge
### Schema attributes This table includes the attributes used by the Enterprise Mode schema.
Attribute Description Supported browser
version Specifies the version of the Enterprise Mode Site List. This attribute is supported for the <rules> element. Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge
exclude Specifies the domain or path excluded from applying Enterprise Mode. This attribute is only supported on the <domain> and <path> elements in the <emie> section. If this attribute is absent, it defaults to false.

Example:

<emie>
  <domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
    <path exclude="true">/products</path>
  </domain>
</emie>

Where https://fabrikam.com uses IE8 Enterprise Mode, but https://fabrikam.com/products does not.

 Internet Explorer 11
docMode Specifies the document mode to apply. This attribute is only supported on <domain> or <path> elements in the <docMode> section.

Example:

<docMode>
  <domain>fabrikam.com
    <path docMode="9">/products</path>
  </domain>
</docMode>

Where https://fabrikam.com loads in IE11 document mode, but https://fabrikam.com/products uses IE9 document mode.

 Internet Explorer 11
doNotTransition Specifies that the page should load in the current browser, otherwise it will open in IE11. This attribute is supported on all <domain> or <path> elements. If this attribute is absent, it defaults to false.

Example:

<emie>
  <domain doNotTransition="false">fabrikam.com
    <path doNotTransition="true">/products</path>
  </domain>
</emie>

Where https://fabrikam.com opens in the IE11 browser, but https://fabrikam.com/products loads in the current browser (eg. Microsoft Edge).

 Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge
forceCompatView Specifies that the page should load in IE7 document mode (Compat View). This attribute is only supported on <domain> or <path> elements in the <emie> section. If the page is also configured to load in Enterprise Mode, it will load in IE7 Enterprise Mode. Otherwise (exclude="true"), it will load in IE11's IE7 document mode. If this attribute is absent, it defaults to false.

Example:

<emie>
  <domain exclude="true">fabrikam.com
    <path forceCompatView="true">/products</path>
  </domain>
</emie>

Where https://fabrikam.com does not use Enterprise Mode, but https://fabrikam.com/products uses IE7 Enterprise Mode.

 Internet Explorer 11
### Using Enterprise Mode and document mode together If you want to use both Enterprise Mode and document mode together, you need to be aware that <emie> entries override <docMode> entries for the same domain. For example, say you want all of the sites in the contoso.com domain to open using IE8 Enterprise Mode, except test.contoso.com, which needs to open in document mode 11. Because Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document mode, if you want test.contoso.com to open using document mode, you'll need to explicitly add it as an exclusion to the <emie> parent node. ```xml contoso.com test.contoso.com test.contoso.com ``` ### What not to include in your schema We recommend that you not add any of the following items to your schema because they can make your compatibility list behave in unexpected ways: - Don’t use protocols. For example, `http://`, `https://`, or custom protocols. They break parsing. - Don’t use wildcards. - Don’t use query strings, ampersands break parsing. ## How to use trailing slashes You can use trailing slashes at the path-level, but not at the domain-level: - **Domain-level.** Don’t add trailing slashes to a domain, it breaks parsing. - **Path-level.** Adding a trailing slash to a path means that the path ends at that point. By not adding a trailing slash, the rule applies to all of the sub-paths. **Example** ```xml contoso.com /about/ ``` In this example, `contoso.com/about/careers` will use the default version of Internet Explorer, even though `contoso.com/about/` uses Enterprise Mode. ## How to target specific sites If you want to target specific sites in your organization. |Targeted site |Example |Explanation | |--------------|--------|------------| |You can specify subdomains in the domain tag. |<docMode>
<domain docMode="5">contoso.com</domain>
<domain docMode="9">info.contoso.com</domain>
<docMode> || |You can specify exact URLs by listing the full path. |<emie>
<domain exclude="false">bing.com</domain>
<domain exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">contoso.com</domain>
<emie>|| |You can nest paths underneath domains. |<emie>
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path exclude="false">/about</path>
<path exclude="true">
/about/business</path>
</domain>
</emie> | | |You can’t add a path underneath a path. The file will still be parsed, but the sub-path will be ignored. |<emie>
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path>/about
<path exclude="true">/business</path>
</path>
</domain>
</emie> | |
