You can add links to the main navigation for the Web Office. These can be internal or external links; the links nest in folders creating two-tier navigation.

The default navigation contains links to a selection of pages organized so Associates can find the tools they need to succeed. With the Site Navigation page, you can customize the folder names, links, and icons.

Web Office Navigation Options

There are two options to add to the Web Office navigation:

Web Office Navigation Bar elements (Click to enlarge)

Folder - Acts as top-level navigation.

Links nest under each folder creating a dropdown effect in the Web Office.

Folders inherit the link’s MFC settings nested within the folder.
Link - Add the link to the navigation bar.

This can be a top-level link (appears on the navigation bar) or nested within a folder.

The links can be Web Office pages, Custom Pages built with Web Office Admin, or to external sites.
