Navigator Type Examples

 

Breadcrumb Navigators

If a web site is large and complex, a user can easily lose orientation. A breadcrumb allows the user to see the position of the current web page within the web site and the logical path back to the highest level of the site framework. A breadcrumb does not provide the actual path that the user has traversed in the web site; the Back button in the browser provides this. A breadcrumb is the orientation device that shows a user where the displayed web page fits within the site framework.

To create a Breadcrumb Naviagtor, use the following configuration:

Start Type	Current Site Area
Include Start	Yes
Ancestor Level	All
Descendant Level	None
Preceding siblings Level	None
Next Siblings Level	None
Show Site	No
Show Content	Yes
Expand Current	No
Highlight navigator content using component designs	Yes

Note: Highlight navigator content using component designs You can choose to show or "expand" the children of parents by selecting Highlight navigator content using component designs If you want to set up a navigator with different designs for different levels, do not select Highlight navigator content using component designs Instead, define a Design for each level to ensure that you get the correct formatting. So if your site framework has three levels, define three Designs.

 

Site Map Navigators

A site map provides, at a glance, the framework of your site. A site map is a navigator component that displays that part of the site framework that you define.

To create a Site Map, the Navigator is configured as follows:

Start Type	Top
Include Start	Yes
Ancestor Level	None
Descendant Level	2 Levels
Preceding siblings Level	None
Next Siblings Level	None
Show Site	No
Show Content	No
Expand Current	No
Highlight navigator content using component designs	No
