Navigator

The Navigator lists all elements of the currently selected content type. Each Content type has a Root item (which acts as a folder) shown in the Navigator.

Click an element to select it and display further information about it.

Note: Depending on your permissions, the elements you see here, and the information displayed, can vary.

New Item Function

The Root items of the Navigator contain a + button, which is a shortcut to create new items.

The new item will be created in the currently selected level of the hierarchy. (If the content type does not have a hierarchy in the Navigator, then it will be created in the Root folder).

Note: Depending on your permissions, the create function might not be available for you.

Navigator Layouts

The Navigator can switch between three different layouts:

Single Column

Hidden

Expanded

Switch between the layouts using the arrows on the right side of the Navigator.

Expanded Layout

Expanded Layout shows more detailed information in a table format. You can sort the columns to find the information you are looking for.

Layout Limitations for Small Screen Devices

Expanded layout is not available due to the lack of horizontal space

The Navigator automatically hides itself after a successful item selection

Navigator View Type

The Navigator can display items in Tree view, or as a Flat list:

Tree View

On the Projects and Servers pages, all Navigator items can be displayed in a tree style view according to their position in the hierarchy. Open/close the tree branches by clicking the arrow on the left side of the folders.

Note: The User/group and Roles content types have no tree view, because those content types use no hierarchy.

Flat List

Items are displayed in a flat list regardless of their position in the hierarchy. However, the item’s path in the hierarchy is displayed in a second line.
