Adding a Section to the Site Hierarchy

You add a section to your Web site using the Site Hierarchy pane in Designer.

To add a section, perform these tasks:

1. In the Site Hierarchy pane, right-click your Web site and choose Add New Section.

   This opens the New Section dialog (see New Section Dialog).

2. Enter a value for Label. The Label appears in the Site Hierarchy pane and in the navigation menus on your site.

3. Enter a value for URL. The URL is used in the site address and all (path-based) links that target this section.

   
   

   Note: Site Studio automatically inserts a value that contains no spaces or special characters.

   
   

4. Choose how you would like this section to be identified. The section ID, also referred to as a node ID, is used in all (ID-based) links that target this section.

   • Choose Auto-generate section ID to have an ID automatically generated by Site Studio.

   • Choose Manually enter section ID to specify your own ID for the section. Enter your ID in the space provided.

     Important: The section ID must be unique in the Web site.

5. Click OK to close this dialog and return to the site hierarchy.

To make the new section appear in the navigation menus on your site (generated by navigation fragments), see Showing Sections in the Site Navigation

To add a subsection (a section within a section), right-click an existing section in the site hierarchy and choose Add New Section.
