Renaming Sections
If you would like to rename an existing section, type a new name under "Full Title." Make sure to copy and paste your new name into the "Link Title" box.Change the path for your section by truncating the new section name down into a one or two word combination in all lower case letters.
Why Hide Sections
Sections on KSE are visible to viewers by default, meaning visitors can see the section headings listed in the site’s navigation menu. Hiding a section makes it invisible from the section navigation and breadcrumbs (the links that help users to locate which section of the site they're viewing).
Note that hidden sections remains accessible to any visitor of your site. Visitors can view content in a hidden section if they access a link to a piece of content. For instance, your website may provide links to uploaded documents in a hidden section. Making this section invisible will restrict direct navigation to the section, while still enabling you to link to those documents from other pages within your site.
How to Create a Hidden Section
- Login to KSE
- Click on "Site Map" and navigate to the directory under which you want to create a hidden section
- Click "New Section"
- Under both "Full title" and "Short title," enter a section title
- Under "Path," enter a path name.
Note: The path name must start with a lower case letter. The name may contain letters and numbers, but not punctuation or spaces
- Under "Status," select the second option: "This section is locked and can only be modified by an administrator." This secures the contents of the section
- Under "Navigation," select the second option: "This section is not visible in automatic navigation." This feature will make the section invisible
Note: Visible sections are denoted by a green folder icon
