required

true, false

U

When true, the page cannot be checked in without a value in the element.

indexable true, false U When true, element is included in the index and is searchable. Default is false.

MaxNodes

Number

U

Presets the element with the total number of pages pulled into a particular navigation. If no limitation on the number of nodes to return, this value should be set to 100,000. This value can be changed in the Edit tab.

Note: This value is evaluated before the value for Max Depth when determining how many objects display in the navigation.

StartPage

xID

U

Presets the element with the xID from which navigation results should be returned. If the navigation is set to Ancestors, this attribute will actually act as a "stop page,” meaning it will only bring back ancestors up to the xID specified here. This value can be changed in the Edit tab.

Note: If no value is defined, the navigation element uses the current xID as the start node.

Navigation

Ancestors, Children, Sibling, Sequential, Subtree

U

Presets the element with a type of navigation on page creation. This value can be changed in the Edit tab.

Query

XPath query

U

Presets the optional XPath query that may be used to filter the results of a navigation. This runs the query against the full navigation as opposed to running against the page's raw XML, as is done by the Multi-Select element. This value can be changed in the Edit tab.

MaxDepth

Number

U

Presets the element with the number of node levels pulled into a particular navigation. This value can be changed in the Edit tab.

Expanded

true, false

U

When true, the element is expanded upon page creation.

GenerationOrder
