Navigation Portlet
Up one level
The navigation portlet will usually be the main tool to navigate the DMS, though there are several other means to navigate. The navigation portlet covers the entire site, including all DMS and KMS Areas.
The navigation portlet lists the items within the root in the order in which they are defined in the root's Contents tabs. That is, users may navigate to the Contents tab for the root and may change the order of the items, and this will control the order they are shown in the Navigation portlet. There is no other reason to change the order of these items, though.
The items within Areas, Entities and Sections are listed in the navigation portlet ordered first by type, then alphabetically by title. The types should be in the order: Area, Entity, Section, Engagement, File, Image, Page, Link.
The navigation portlet will not appear if the site has no DMS Areas or KMS Areas. Normally this will not occur and user will not see this.
The navigation portlet will always show all DMS Areas, Entities, and Sections. In some cases where there is a very large amount of content, the navigation portlet may be impractical to use, but no logged-in users will be restricted from using it to navigate to any given Document because of permissions. It is only with Documents (and some KMS content) that each user may or may not be able to view the item in question.
