Some features are being phased out or absorbed into the new Enhanced Header.
Last reviewed: October 23, 2023
Using This Component
Add the component to the page. There is only one tab.
This component is usually placed immediately below the main header navigation.
Technical Restrictions
- Generally placed near the top of your pages, directly beneath the main navigation.
- Please do not place in the footer -- this does not work well for mobile users.
Configure - Main Settings
This component opened for editing.
Generally this is placed near the top of your home page or on a major secondary page, directly beneath the main header navigation, but can also be placed at the top of your footer.
Starting level: Optionally specify a number to define the start of the breadcrumb path within the UBCMS. We recommend you leave this blank unless you are introducing this component on a page lower than your home page.
- 1 would be a top level domain (www.buffalo.edu or nursing.buffalo.edu)
- 2 would be the next folder down (www.buffalo.edu/cmshelp for the Web Management site), etc.
