New Subpage Side-Navigation

Our newest subpages combine our department page functionality for all pages.

Overview

The new Subpage Side-Navigation feature introduces a clean, modern design along with greater flexibility and control over your page layouts. With this update, you can enhance the navigation experience for your visitors by toggling key elements directly within the CMS Editor, ensuring a more intuitive and visually appealing presentation.

Key Features

Each page now includes a Side Navigation Settings Panel in the top-right corner, where you can toggle the following options:

1. Include Side Navigation

• Enable or Disable side navigation for any subpage.

2. Side Navigation Location

• Choose whether the side navigation appears on the left or right side of the page.

3. Include Breadcrumbs

• Toggle on/off to show or hide breadcrumbs for improved navigation.

4. Include Banner Image

• Enable or disable a banner image at the top of the page.

5. Include Staff Image (Available Upon Request)

• If applicable, toggle on/off a staff image for certain department or personnel pages (this feature must be requested through support). We have turned this off by default but can add it to individual layouts. See information on how to change a layouts below. 

How to Customize Your Subpage Side-Navigation

You are able to select which level the displays at the top of the sidebar. You can use the layouts to change the whole section default this will only apply to the page you are on.

This allows a user to turn off the breadcrumbs for the page. This is useful if you have a banner and a title and don't want the breadcrumbs as well.

Include Title

Add a page title with ease. Just click and start typing!

Include Staff Image

To highlight a department head, simply add their image, name, position, phone number, and email. This email is no longer a default by customer request but can be added back in by request on any individual layout or all layouts.
