Options

Specifies how the website links created by the navigation item should behave when rendered in a web browser.

Makes the rendered version of a content record that is the target of this navigation item be displayed through a secured connection (SSL) to the web server, but only if both of the following two conditions are also met:

1. The website associated with this navigation item's sitemap has a valid https:// URLs listed in the Secure URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root field in their definition.

Important: Restart IIS whenever you change the Secure URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root setting. Note that localhost is not a valid Secure URL.

2. You have installed valid site certificates in IIS for each web server that hosts this website.

If the content record that is the target of this navigation item ends up being served by a CM website that does not meet the above criteria, the content record will be displayed through a non-secured connection (http://).

Note: If other navigation items point at the same content record, but those other navigation items do not have this checkbox selected, they will not display the content record through a secured connection. However, if the Content is secure (https://) checkbox is selected on the target content record itself, then it doesn't matter how this checkbox is set on any navigation items that point at the content record—the content record will always be displayed through a security connection regardless of which link is used to get to the content.

Check this box to make this navigation functional on the website. Uncheck it to stop this navigation item from functioning on the website. Important: Although active, the navigation item cannot appear on the site if it is hidden by the following option.

Hides the navigation item from the end user, per the automated display rules defined in each navigation area. This option does not apply to any navigation item selected to be displayed in the Auxiliary and Footer navigation areas. If you do not want a navigation item to appear in those areas, you must clear the Auxiliary and Footer checkboxes from the Show in the following navigation area options. For more information, see Fields: websites.

Note: The Primary Navigation ignores the sitemap order for any navigation item marked as This navigation item is hidden. To enable the sitemap order, uncheck this property.

Hides the navigation item from authenticated users. This option is best used on public-facing iMIS-generated websites. For example, enable this option to display a Create Account link only to unauthenticated users.

Specifies in which navigation areas this navigation item displays. This applies to the top level of the navigation hierarchy only (the one that is always visible). The navigation item can still be used as a sub-navigation item whether this option is selected or not.

■ This option is the only way that you can make a navigation item appear in the Auxiliary or Footer navigation areas. Note that if the link is flagged as a hidden navigation item, the link is still displayed in the Auxiliary and Footer navigation areas if selected here. If you do not want a navigation item to appear in those areas, you must clear the Auxiliary and Footer checkboxes.

■ Remember that these navigation areas are defined in iMIS, but not all website master pages will necessarily include them.

■ The Inherit from ~ checkbox shows this navigation item if the parent is also displayed.
