Modifying Display in Navigation
The Top and Side Navigation Menus are linked. Adding a page to the Top Nav automatically adds it to the Side Nav.
Follow the steps below to add, move, or delete entries from either the Top or Side Navs.
STEP 2: Select Site
Select the website to edit by using the Site Selector.
The Site Selector field works as both a dropdown list and a search bar.
STEP 3: Select the Desired Display in Navigation Option
Select the asset to change.
Edit the asset and confirm or change its Display in Navigation option.
This step must be done individually for all assets whose Display in Navigation option you wish to change.
STEP 4: Add Comment
Any time Display in Navigation is changed, add the following note to the Comment Field.
Type in Added Page to Navigation or Removed Page from Navigation.
This comment informs Developers to publish the page. Unlike standard content changes approved in Workflow, any navigation change requires a Developer to specifically publish the site. Otherwise, the navigation changes will not appear until the site's normal, once a week, publication.
STEP 5: Reorder Navigation
If the order that pages are displaying in the navigation need to be reordered, then follow the steps here to change the order in which they display.
Troubleshooting Navigation
If the modified page is still not appearing in the navigation menu, or if it is still appearing after being removed, ask these questions. The answer to all of them should be "yes."
- Were the steps above followed correctly?
- Did a Developer publish the page?
- Is the Display in Navigation setting for the page's parent folder set to Yes?
- Does the page's parent folder have a page titled index (with a lowercase "i") in it? If the modified page is titled index, then this counts as "yes."
- Is the Display in Navigation setting for the index page that shares the same parent holder set to Yes? If the modified page is titled index, then this counts as "yes."
If the answer to all of these questions is "yes," then email web@sandiego.edu for assistance. Make sure to clearly state the issue, and to provide a link to the page that isn't displaying correctly.
