Sample YAML output (for one channel):

CODE

key: root.
name: Output channel
name_de: Ausgabekanal
domain: root.
domain2: root.
sorting: 1
enabled: true

Note Please be aware that you can accidently re-enable a domain by using the update command.

Command	Argument	Meaning
`hcms channel create`	channel key	Creates a new channel in the Censhare system.
`hcms channel update`	channel key	Updates a specified channel in the Censhare system. If the channel is currently disabled, it will be automatically enabled.
