Primary Navigation

Agency Navigation Overview

The Agency Navigation content is located in the Primary Navigation item and consists of three levels of navigation to modify:
1. Primary (Level 1)
2. Secondary (Level 2)
3. Tertiary (Level 3)

Displaying navigation on the website is a two-part process. First you will create the navigation item(s), then you will select them to display on the website.

NOTE: For tertiary links (level 3) links to display, the specific pages need to be created first to select them.

NOTE: The categories and sub-categories displayed in the footer are automatically pulled from the primary navigation. You can control what primary navigation doesn’t display in the footer by selecting the ‘HideInFooter’ checkbox from each navigation link item.
