SharePoint Navigators

Wish you could make navigating SharePoint easier? Now you can!

When you navigate in SharePoint, don't you wish you could get to multiple sub-sites, various projects, or links by just simply changing tabs, instead of having to open a separate browser window and enter the URL? Or, does your Quick Launch have so many links that you wish you could collapse and expand the list when you want to navigate to something? So do we!

SharePoint Navigators allow you to create custom menus, tabs, tree items, and a Site Actions menu to navigate to sites, pages, or lists within and across sites and site collections. SharePoint security is enforced by keeping users who do not have appropriate access from accessing any SharePoint links you may configure in your navigation. These navigation controls can help you to build a clean, user friendly Project Management site, or any other type of site requiring customized navigation controls.

• Includes 3 Web Parts: Menu Navigator, Tab Strip Navigator, and Tree View Navigator. This product also includes the Site Actions Menu Navigator (which is a SharePoint feature) that allows you to create a menu system that Administrators can access from the Site Actions drop-down menu.
• Menu and Tree Navigators allow you to have multiple menu item levels.
• Select from a variety of skins to display your customized menu, tab strip or tree view.
• Use relative links to the Bamboo Navigator list that defines the menu, tab or tree view structure. Relative links ensures easy access to HTTP or HTTPS sites, and helps with portability when creating site templates that contain these navigation options.
• The Bamboo Navigators list is automatically created for you when the Web Part feature is activated in the Site Collection Features area. Use this list or create your own to define your navigation structure.
• Define the parent and child menu icons for the Site Actions menu along with the navigation structure in a separate list (Bamboo Navigator - Site Actions Configuration list) that is automatically created when the Site Actions Menu feature is activated in the Site Collection Features area.
• SharePoint security remains in effect ensuring that users who do not have access to pages, lists or sites in your menu, tab or tree view structure won't be able to see those menu items.
