Section navigation is a set of text links accessing other pages in the section and providing context for the current web page. Section navigation usually appears in the sidebar of a Web page and can be styled via CSS. It is inserted by means of the Section Navigation component.
The Section Navigation component relies on three major steps:
-
Inserting the Component
-
Configuring the Component
-
Configuring Folder Navigation Properties
The Section Navigation component inserts a set of navigation links wherever it appears in a Web page (as invoked by either the wrapper or the display template where it is used). The link set itself is configured in the Navigation properties of the folder hosting the page. That is, a link set must be configured for a folder in order for navigation to render on any page residing in that folder. Distinct sets of links may be defined for each folder of the website. (By default, a sub-folder inherits its parent folder’s properties including the navigation configuration.)
The set of links may include one or more levels (tiers) of nesting, depending on how your site is configured. A separate CSS class is applied to each level of nested links.
Additionally, one or more text labels may be inserted into section navigation instances. These may be used to group sets of links under a heading. Labels share a CSS class that is distinct from the links.
