Understanding Navigation Collection Options

You define and override navigation collection options at different levels. Options defined at the system level provide default values, with options defined at the registry, source, and navigation collection levels being capable of overriding each previous level.

PeopleTools delivers a set of system-level defaults. You can change these values on the System Options page or override these values at successive levels in the default hierarchy. This table lists the navigation collection options and the levels at which they are set up or overridden:

Options	System (default)	Registry (overrides system default)	Source Reference (overrides system and registry values)	Collection Reference (overrides system, registry, and source reference values)
Registry object prefix	X	None available	None available	None available
Show breadcrumbs	X	X	None available	None available
Show main menu breadcrumb	X	X	None available	None available
Registry node name	X	None available	None available	None available
Large (parent) image	X	X	X (with attribute name PTPP_IMAGE)	X
Small (child) image	X	X	None available	None available
Style sheet	X	X	None available	X
Show images	X	X	None available	X
Maximum child links	X	X	None available	X
Maximum columns	X	X	None available	None available
Owner ID	X	None available	None available	X

You define and set navigation collection options on these pages:

• Set system options on the System Options page.

• Set registry options on the Registry Options page.

• Set source reference options through the Structure and Content pages.

• Set navigation collection reference options on the Maintain Collections page.

The default option to display standard navigation pages when you click a menu folder is set at the registry level on the General Setting page. You can override this default on the source reference.
