Adding a Page to the Global Navigation Bars

See Also

You can create hierarchical relationships between pages using site diagrams. These relationships are used to determine the types of links included on the navigation bars for a page.

You can also indicate that a page appears as a default link on the global navigation bar for a site. For example, you may want your help page and search page to be available as a navigation bar link from any page in your site. Site Designer allows you to do this by specifying that a page is a global navigation bar page.

Note   You must use a layout or the PageNavbar design-time control to take full advantage of this option.

To add a page to all site navigation bars

1. Select a page in the site diagram.
   
   
2. From the Diagram menu, choose Add to Global Navigation Bar.

   A message box appears if the page is currently a child page.

The page is now available as a navigation bar link from all the navigation bars in the site. In the site diagram, the page displays the global navigation bar icon.

To remove a page from all site navigation bars

1. Select the global navigation bar page in the site diagram.
   
   
2. From the Diagram menu, choose Remove from Global Navigation Bar.

   -or-

   Drag and drop the global navigation bar page over another page to create a parent-child relationship.

You can also specify the order in which global navigation bar page links appear on the navigation bars for a site.

To order global navigation bar links

1. From the Diagram menu, choose Reorder Global Navigation Bar.

   The Reorder Global Navigation bar dialog box appears.

3. Select Move Up to move the page above another page.

   -or-

   Select Move Down to move the page below another page.

Note   You must save the current site diagram in order for the changes to the global navigation bar page link ordering to appear.
