In this section- we will concentrate on "Navigation". Navigation is broadly classified into two main categories as:
1. Global Navigation (It’s also called as Top Navigation)
2. Left Navigation (it’s also called as current navigation)
Navigation plays a very vital role on the SharePoint site as it manages the above options i.e. Global as well as Left Navigation.
Management of Global and Left navigation makes the site look and Feel user friendly and bit more professional too.
Let’s assume a scenario's (based on previous issues/tickets):
1. You have 15 subsites under the site collection and these subsites occupy the complete global navigation. Now suppose if you need to check some data for the 15th subsite then you need to scroll the task bar towards right first and then click on it, also it will not look good too.--??
2. So many list's, Libraries, subsite links are present in the current navigation and that increases the length of the home page.--??
3. Suppose you have 15 subsites/15 lists/20 Document Libraries and you wants to show only few of them in the left navigation as well as global navigation--??
Scenarios will be many but the thing that is going to achieve all the above mentioned requirements is one n only "Navigation"
The users who are in the learning phase/new to SharePoint now think that where is this option present on the SharePoint site? Valid question guys!! Here we go:
1. Open your SharePoint site
2. site actions
3. site settings
4. Under Look and Feel section
5. Navigation
But now think that you are not getting that option under look and feel..Hmm...Interesting right??
At one point, i am saying that you will get the option by following the above mentioned steps but still the option is missing!! Don’t worry guys, the above mentioned steps are perfectly fine and we are on the same track..
Resolution:
----------------
The reason that the navigation option is missing is due to the fact that your site does not have the publishing functionality enabled.
How to enable this feature so that you will get the navigation option:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Open you SharePoint site
2. Site actions
3. Site settings
3. Site collection administration section (last section on the settings page)
4. Site collection features
5. Enable “Office SharePoint Server Publishing”
You are done. Now you should be able to see the navigation option.
Resolution-2:
---------------------
If you don’t want to enable the publishing feature you can use the quick link /_layouts/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx
Append this directly after the url for your site and you’ll be directed to the navigation modification screen.
