Overview

Each space have its own space menu accessible from this left button: 

The Space menu is just a selection of existing pages (mostly, "Editorials"), organized in a flat or hierarchical way, at your choice.

This operation need to use the "Tridion Content Manager" instead of the better known "Site Edit".

Step-by-step

 

Step 1: Open the space menu component

1. Reach the following Tridion Content Manager path (click the link):
\SW W1 ONE Master\Building Blocks\Component\1 ONE\

2. According to your entity, reach your space sub-folder.

Example: \SW W1 ONE Master\Building Blocks\Component\1 ONE\Function\Finance\

3. Double click the banner component in this folder
4. Keep the default "Edit the parent item", then press "OK"

Step 2: Understand the space menu component structure

Name: Tridion internal name (keep as it is)

Title: Space home page name (keep as it is)

One "Link" block for each menu item, containing:

  • Section title: label of the menu item
  • Link: Component to use as a target. Press to select it.
    It is generally an Editorial, so you'll find it in "\Building Blocks\Component\1 ONE\[Your space path]\Editorial\"
  • Level: Level of the item in the menu (first items are level "1", next ones are level "2", etc.)

Example of levels management - "Finance" space menu:

Level 1Level 2 (under "Organization" item)

  • if you choose "2", the item will be a sub-item of the "Vision & Mission" section.
  • any other value is invalid here.

Step 4: Save & Close then Publish

 
1. When you finished to update, press "Save & Close"
