Site Designer lets you quickly add, move, edit, and delete the items in your menus and task lists from your websites, without ever touching HTML or configuration files.
Site Designer in Tools manages the menus and task links for all of your websites
The structure of each website is a "sitemap", which you manage as simple hierarchy of "navigation items". Users see these as menus (tabs) and groups of task list items.
As with most work you do in Tools, your sitemap changes are versioned (so that you can revert from mistakes) and you can export and import sitemaps between systems.
To move menus and task list items
1. Logged into iMIS as a sysadmin, open Tools > Site designer, Manage sitemaps.
2. From the drop-down list above the tree, select which site you want to reorganize.
3. Drag and drop to change the order of menus and task items.
Tip: Dropping an item on top of another places it below (subordinate); to move an item up or down in a list, be sure to drop the item onto the dotted line that temporarily appears between items during the move.
4. At the bottom right, select Save. The Status section header reports Working.
5. Select Preview on the toolbar to check your changes, so that you can correct any problems before publishing.
6. Select Publish on the toolbar. The Status section header reports Published, and you can follow the URL link to see the changes on the live site.
