Two ways to create navigation bars

1. Automatic navigation

Navigation links can be generated automatically based on the pages assigned to each section (previously sections were called categories). To turn this on or off, go to the 'Manage text area 1' link and click 'Set preference for generating automatic navigation'. Automatic navigation generates a list of the pages in each category.

To exclude a page from the navigation and index page lists, uncheck the 'Include in index page' checkbox when creating a new page, or editing an existing page.

Below is an example of navigation that has been created automatically:

2. Free-form navigation bars

The 'Manage text area 1' link provides a simple way to create HTML based navigation bars which can contain any type of content. These navigation bars can then be assigned to pages as they are created or edited.

Use both Manage text area 1 - and Manage text area 2. Include one horizontally and one vertically. All the best, Jim
