Navigation Link Text
Specifies the anchor text that will be used for the links representing this navigation item throughout the CM website. This value must be unique among all sibling navigation items in the sitemap tree.
Navigation Folder Name
Specifies the name of this navigation item within the sitemap tree. This value is automatically generated by the system to be a valid hierarchical part of a URL (the "path" of "folder names" in a long URL) when you enter the Navigation Link Text. For example, if there are spaces in the value that you specified in the Navigation Link Text field, they are automatically converted to underscore characters in this field.
If you manually change this value, you must use a value that web browsers will correctly parse as a valid hierarchical part of the URI scheme used in URL syntax. You must also ensure that this value is unique among all sibling navigation items in the sitemap tree.
Tool Tip Description
Specifies short help text that pops up when the user hovers over the link in the navigation. Leave it blank if you do not want to show a Tool tip.
Content or URL to Link to
Specifies the target of the navigation link. You can specify an absolute URL to any website, a relative URL to pages within the website associated with this sitemap, or you can click select to browse for a content record. For relative URLs, use a tilde character to represent the IIS web site root where this sitemap’s website is located. Example: ~/ThisWebsiteFolder/Default.aspx
You can specify this value in five ways:
Note: If a navigation item is selected as the Home link for a website (Manage sitemaps, Options tab), be sure to enter Default.aspx as the Content or URL to Link to (Manage sitemaps, Properties tab). Default.aspx is the default page used when a link does not specify a page.
■ Click the select link and select any content record defined in the system.
■ Specify a root-relative URL to a manually coded .aspx or .html file located anywhere in below the root (~) of the physical path associated with the IIS application or IIS web site that hosts your CM websites. For example, ~/handCodedPages/myPage.aspx.
Note: Be sure to use web-style forward slashes (/) for the segment delimiters.
■ Specify an absolute path to a manually coded .aspx or .html file located anywhere in the IIS folder hierarchy of the Default Web Site. This is useful for linking to files that are outside of the physical path of the IIS application or IIS web site that hosts your CM websites. The root of the absolute path is the IIS Default Web Site, which must be represented by a single forward slash (/), and you must also use forward slashes to delimit the path segments. For example, the absolute path to an .aspx file located in a first-level virtual directory named SiteX would be /SiteX/externalPage.aspx.
■ Specify an absolute URL to a page on an external website. For example, http://docs.imis.com/.
URL Parameters
Specifies a string to append to this navigation item's URL. The string can be one or more parameters that will pass data to the parameter-collection web user control in the content type associated with a custom iPart that is used in the content record to which this navigation item points. (None of the standard iMIS iParts use parameter-collection web user controls that accept this type of input in their associated content types.) The specific control is defined in the URL to the control or page that is used to collect parameters for content items of this type field in the iPart's corresponding content type.
Each parameter must contain a name and a value. Separate multiple parameters with an ampersand (&). For example, name1=value1&name2=value2.
Breadcrumb Name
Specifies the text displayed for the navigation item in a breadcrumb path, if breadcrumbs are enabled for the CM website. This text must be unique among all sibling navigation items in the sitemap tree.
Hide on this page
Prevents the Breadcrumb Name for this navigation item from being displayed in a breadcrumb path. When cleared, the Breadcrumb Name will be visible in breadcrumb paths.
Override Content Title
Specifies the text to use to override the title bar title. This title appears on the content page pointed to by this navigation item. Leave it blank to allow the content’s assigned title to display.
Navigation Code
(for use by developers) This field allows developers to hard-code links to this navigation item without worry about the text or location of the navigation changing later. It specifies a URL alias for the navigation item that will stay the same even if this navigation item is moved within the sitemap tree or if the Navigation Folder Name is later changed. Navigation codes allow you to identify navigation items without the need to refer to the full path or underlying GUID for that item. They can be used in a variety of ways, including:
■ Creating links in IQA query results
■ Creating links in search results for the Common Search iPart
■ Creating target links in ASPX web pages to redirect users to another page
■ Creating links in the Big Button Panel iPart
A navigation code must be unique among a given sitemap. If a navigation code is unique among all navigation items that share the same IIS web site root, which is defined from Site designer > Manage websites > Properties of a website, then it can be used in a URL without the website name (such as http://mydomain.com/StoreHome instead of http://mydomain.com/PublicSite/StoreHome).
Image URL
Enter an image URL or select an image to display next to the navigation item.
CSS Class
Specifies one or more CSS classes to apply to the navigation item. For example, class1 class2.
Folder containing template content
Defaults to Inherit from parent, which you can disable to specify a different folder, such as for content that is shared across areas or websites.
