Managing Navigation Elements

This topic describes the procedures that you need to perform to manage navigation elements and navigation nodes.

To start managing navigation elements and nodes, navigate to the Navigation section.

Creating a New Navigation Element

To create a navigation element:

1. Click Create Navigation in the top right corner of the Overview of Navigation Elements page.
2. On the Create Navigation Elements page, specify the following:
   • Name - give your navigation tree a name.
   • Key - specify the navigation key. The key is used to reference the navigation from Yves.
3. Select the Active checkbox if you want to make the navigation item active, or leave it unchecked if you want to have it inactive. If a navigation item is inactive, this element and all its nodes will not be visible in the online store.
4. Click Save.

The Navigation list displays all the elements in your system. Here you can see if they are active or not, modify, activate or deactivate, as well as delete flow for a navigation element.

You can also search for a navigation element by starting to type its name or key in the Search field. As you type, the list of found navigation elements with the matching values in the Name and Key fields will be displayed in the List of navigation elements table.

Creating a Child Node

To create a child node to an existing navigation element:

1. Click on the navigation element in the List of navigation elements table to select the element.
2. Add the relevant information in the Create child node section.
3. Click Save.

After saving your node, the view will be updated and instead of the Create child node frame you should now be able to see the Update node frame. The newly added node now should appear in your navigation tree.

To create a child node to another node:

1. Click on the navigation element in the List of navigation elements table to select the element.
2. Click on the node under the navigation element in the Navigation tree section.
3. In the Create child node section, click Create child node.
4. Add the relevant information in the Create child node section.
5. Click Save.

Editing, Deleting, Deactivating/Activating a Navigation Element
