Menu component identification

Specify identification information for the component, including the name, title and description of the component.

  1. Type the name of the item in the Name field.

    The name of site areas and content items are used to construct the URL path for those items. Component names are used when referencing components in web content tags.

    We can create items of the same type with the same name so long as the path to the item is different. For example, we can create two categories with the same name so long as they are saved under different categories:

    • \taxonomyA\categoryA\shoes
    • \taxonomyA\categoryB\shoes
    • \taxonomyB\categoryB\shoes

  2. Names are not case sensitive, so we cannot create one item named "News" and another item of the same item-type named "news" in the same path.

  3. Type the title of the item in the Display Title field.

    The title is the text displayed to users when viewing a list of items.

    Click Localizations to select a text provider plug-in and key.

    A text provider is used to provide localized text that can be used within web content item forms. The key is used to look up a string from the selected text provider. The text provider displays a different title for each locale it has been configured for. The text entered in the display title field is only used if an appropriate text label is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.

  4. Type a brief description of the item in the Description field.

    Click Localizations to select a text provider plug-in and key.
