Common Elements Used in This Section

Field or Control	Description
Show Breadcrumbs	Select to indicate that you want navigation path to appear on published navigation pages. These breadcrumbs reflect the path taken by users as they navigate through left-navigation menu folders and navigation page folders. Displaying breadcrumbs facilitates user navigation because the left-navigation menu is not updated to reflect the user's navigation through navigation pages. The first breadcrumb in the Main Menu collection points to the delivered PT_PTPP_PORTAL_ROOT navigation collection, which is based on the PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT folder. Alternatively, you can select a different navigation collection to be used as the first (main menu) breadcrumb using the Main Menu Collection Name field, or you can choose not to display a first breadcrumb. The next set of breadcrumbs displayed depend on the left-navigation menu folders that the user opened to access the navigation collection page. Subsequent breadcrumbs displayed depend on the folder path that the user accesses on the navigation collection page.
Show Main Menu Breadcrumb	If you selected the Show Breadcrumbs option, select this option to include the Main Menu collection name as the first entry in the breadcrumb path displayed on the navigation collection page publication. If you deselect this option, the first entry in the breadcrumb path depends on the level-1 left-navigation folder that the user opens to access the navigation collection page. The Main Menu link does not appear as the first link in the breadcrumbs.
Main Menu Collection Name	This field appears when the Show Main Menu Breadcrumb option is selected. The default value is Main Menu, which designates that the first breadcrumb displayed accesses the Main Menu page. You can choose to replace the first breadcrumb Main Menu link with a link that accesses an alternate navigation collection that you have created. The first breadcrumb Main Menu link to the Main Menu page provides access to the entire navigation for your database, filtered by security. You may want to provide a first breadcrumb link that provides access to a navigation collection that you have configured to contain only selected folders and content references.
Style Sheet Name	Select the cascading style sheet (CSS) that you want to use to generate navigation collection pages. Cascading style sheets are defined in PeopleSoft Application Designer. This setting applies to both navigation pages and navigation pagelets. Note: You must use the same style class names that are found on the stylesheet PTPP_STYLEDEFN. See Application Designer Developer’s Guide: Understanding Style Sheets and Style Classes.Application Designer Developer’s Guide: Creating Standard and Sub Style Sheets
Maximum Columns	Enter the maximum number of columns to display on a navigation page. Navigation pagelets display one or two columns depending on the user's settings on the Personalize Layout page. Narrow pagelets display contents in one column. Wide pagelets display contents in three columns. This setting applies to navigation pages only. See Applications User’s Guide: Personalizing Classic Homepages and Dashboards.
Maximum Child Links	Enter the maximum number of links to display beneath each folder on the navigation collection publication. If the number of links in the folder exceeds this number, an X More... link appears beneath the folder that jumps to a page from which you can access all links stored in the navigation collection folder. For example, if you set Maximum Child Links to 4 and the navigation collection folder contains five links, three links appear on the navigation collection page along with the X More... link. When you select the X More... link, a page containing all five links in the navigation collection folder appears. This setting applies to both navigation pages and navigation pagelets.
