What is it?

The Site Map widget provides a way for people to navigate and explore your digital workplace. The workplace administrator can select the root location of the Site Map widget and it will display all navigable areas of your workplace from there. For example, a Site Map widget could be used to display only the pages and Channels that are part of that space. Alternatively, it could show the entire layout of your workplace.

Selecting any of the links in the Site Map widget will bring a person to that page in your workplace. People can only view items that they have the proper access for.

The Site Map widget provides additional functionality compared to the Navigation widget as it allows people to drill down into nested pages that are part of your workplace.

Options

Title - This name is displayed above the content of the widget. It can be left blank or contain up to 140 characters.

Description - This text is displayed below the title and above the site map.

Start point - Your workplace, a page, or space can serve as the base location that is displayed in the Site Map widget. Only locations that are below this start point will be displayed, including any additional nested locations.

Show hidden items - Selecting this option will cause any hidden pages in your workplace to be visible in the Site Map widget. This does not change the visibility of the page elsewhere.
