Excluding items from the Navigation
By default, the site adds any object in the folder to the navigation on the left-hand side of the page. You may want to exclude certain items (a pdf application, images folder, etc.) from the navigation. To exclude an item:
The Settings Tab:
- Go the item you do not want to appear in the navigation.
- Select edit.
- Select the settings tab.
- Select "exclude from navigation."
- Click "Save."
Changing the text link in the Navigation
To change the text link in the navigation:
- click on the link in the navigation to go to that object.
- If you see the contents tab when you get to that object, that means it is a folder. Select "contents," and then select "edit."
- If you do not see the contents tab, then just select "edit."
- Change the text in the "Title" text box at the top of the page to the desired text.
- Select "save" at the bottom of the page.
- Refresh the page and check the navigation to see if the new desired text shows up.
Changing the navigation order
- Go to the folder housing the items you wish to show in the navigation.
- Click on the "contents" tab to see the contents window.
- Click "show all."
- Find the item you wish to move in the table.
- Find the rows of dots in the far left cell of the row that houses that item.
- Click and hold down the mouse button on the dots.
- Hold the mouse button down while you drag the item up and down the list to where you want it to appear.
- Refresh the page and check the navigation order.
To set up a second level in the navigation
The second level in the navigation is established by adding a folder to your home folder. Add the objects you wish to show in the secondary navigation level to the new folder.
