Setting up navigation pane

You can set up and customize the navigation pane as a part of the theme customization. It may include links to pages and links to saved personalization views.

To set up navigation pane 

  1.  In CMS, got to Media > Site settings > Themes.
  2. Select Themes.
  3. Select the theme you are using or want to use, and then select the Customization tab.
  4. Select Add component, and then select 
  5. Go to the Side bar group to customize the look of the menu (navigation pane). If the group is not present, select  next to Components, and then, from the list that opens, select Menu to add it.
  6. In the Side bar group, select  next to Menu view, choose the relevant option.

    The available options are:
    1. [Blank] - If this option is selected, the navigation pane is collapsed (the caption of the menu items on the first level is shown below the menu item icon) and closed by default. The member will need to use the menu icon to open it. An example of the menu with this setting after it was manually opened:
    2. Menu opened - If this option is selected, the navigation pane is collapsed (the caption of the menu items on the first level is shown below the menu item icon) and opened by default. An example of the menu:
    3. Wide menu - If this option is selected, the navigation pane is expanded (the caption of the menu items on the first level of the navigation pane is shown to the right side of the menu item icon) and closed by default. The member will need to use the menu icon to open it. An example of the menu with this setting after it was manually opened:

        Note

      This setting does not specify whether the menu will be pinned by default. The pin state is saved in the browser cookies and, as a result, preserved after changing the Menu view setting. Clearing browser cookies will revert the pin state to its default value: the menu is unpinned. Regardless of the configured menu view, the member can always close/open the menu and pin/unpin it when necessary.
  7. Configure other customization options in the Menu group, such as font, font size, font color, background color, etc. For more information on theme customization, see Creating custom themes.
  8. Select Save.
  9. If you were making changes to the existing custom theme, you need to clear the portal cache to have the changes applied on the front end. To clear the portal cache, in CMS go to Content or Settings, and then select the Clear cached data action at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can select Settings, select More at the bottpm, and then select the Reload Application action.
