Navigation
Navigation is defined by the page hierarchy and the site area hierarchy. Navigation elements include the page theme, menus, and navigators.
Hierarchical navigation
The hierarchical structure of the website is displayed to users in different ways.
- Page navigation
- The top levels of navigation are defined by the page hierarchy, and are automatically displayed by the default portal theme as links. The location of these links is determined by the page layout we select.
- Site area navigation
- If the website includes web content, extra navigational links are displayed with a navigator component. This component type displays a subsection of the hierarchical structure of the site areas and content items used by the website.
Criteria based navigation
Use menu components to display lists of links to the web content based on predefined or dynamic criteria. The parameters defined in a menu component can be based on set criteria, such as a category or authoring template, or they can be set with dynamic criteria based on the current content item, site area, or other variables.
