Assigning a navigation bar to a folder

You can assign a navigation bar to a folder. When users access the folder, they will use the navigation bar chosen by the owner. You can choose to use the content area's default navigation bar, select a specific navigation bar, or inherit the navigation bar from the parent folder. The default is to inherit the navigation bar from the parent folder. If all folders inherit the navigation bar from the parent folder, then they will inherit the root folder's navigation bar.

You must be a folder owner to choose a navigation bar for it.

To display a navigation bar in a folder:

  1. Click to access the Navigator and then click Content Areas to go to the Content Area Navigator.

    Note: You can also get to the Content Area Navigator from the content area Administration page.

  2. Click Contents next to the content area that contains the folder that you want to edit. If the list of content areas is very long, use Find to go directly to the desired content area.

    Note: If your folder is shared across multiple content areas, click Shared Objects.

  3. Click Folders.

  4. Click Edit next to the folder to which you want to assign the navigation bar.

  5. Click Nav Bar.

  6. Optionally, you can access the Navigation Bar Manager from this page.

    • To edit the currently selected navigation bar, click the link under Navigation Bar Properties.

    • To choose a different navigation bar to edit, click Select A Navigation Bar, choose the desired bar from the list, click Apply, and then click the link under Navigation Bar Properties.

    • To create a new navigation bar, fill out the properties under Create Navigation Bar and click Create. The bar you create will be automatically selected as the current bar for the folder.

  7. Choose one of the three radio buttons:

Use Default

Assigns the content area default navigation bar. The name of the default navigation bar is shown in parentheses.

Inherit From Parent Folder

Assigns the same navigation bar to the current folder as its parent folder. The name of the parent folder's navigation bar is shown in parentheses.

Select A Navigation Bar

Assigns the navigation bar that you choose from the list.

  1. Click OK.
