Add, edit and remove links from your top level navigation.
What is the top level navigation?
The purple bar across the top of each page that contains your Student Voice, Communities, What's On and Support dropdowns. It is the primary method of a user navigating your site, so it's crucial that it's kept up to date.
Adding links
-
Go to the Website Admin area
Navigate to the Website Admin area by opening the hamburger menu and selecting 'Website Admin' from the left hand side.
-
Select 'Navigation menus'
You'll find this option underneath the 'site' heading.
-
Select your Section
From the section filter, select the section you'd like to add a link to. The table below shows which sections are active.
-
Add a new item
Below the list of pages in that section is a form. Fill it in using the guidance below.
| Section name |
This will be automatically populated once you've selected a section. |
| Page |
Select the page you'd like to add from the site map tree. |
| Display text |
This is the text that will display in the dropdown. |
| Display order |
This is the order of the page in the dropdown. Always go up in 10s where you can, so that you can slot other pages in between if needed - e.g. a page with a page order of 15 will sit between a page with a page order of 10 and a page with 20. But if your pages are set to 1, 2, 3 and so on, you'll have to renumber all of them if you need a new page to sit between the first two pages. |
| CSS class |
Leave this blank. |
| Display subnavigation |
Leave this box unticked. |
| Open in new window/tab |
Leave this box unticked if it's a page on your union site you're linking to. If your page is a redirect that's pointing students away to a University page or other external site, tick this box. |
