Defining Navigation Collection System Options

Access the System Options page. (Select PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Portal Utilities, and then Nav Collection System Options.)

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the System Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

PeopleTools delivers a set of system-level defaults. You can change the default values on this page or override the defaults at successive levels in the default hierarchy. However, you cannot delete the default values because system-level default values are required.

See Understanding Navigation Collection Options.
