How to set default page in DLN among folders structure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have the navigation structure as follows.

In Top Level Navigation we have a Role called " Role1"

In Second Level Navigation we have a Workset called "Workset1"

In Detailed Navigation we have a folders as below :

Folder1
    Folder2
          Page1
          Page2
          Page3
    Folder3
         Page4
         Page5
         Page6

Now our requirement is when user clicks on Role1 then in the Detailed Navigation (DLN) , Page1 should set by default and content in that page has to be displayed in the content Area.

Currently it is happening like, when user clicks on Role1 then in the Detailed Navigation(DLN), Folder1 is selecting by default , then user has to select manually the page1 then that page1 is content is displaying in the content area.

Could you please get back to me what are the properties has to be changed at page level or folder level if any, for achieving the requirement as page1 should set by default when user clicks on Role1 ( from the First Level Navigation).??

I tried the property of "Default entry for folder" for page1 as "Yes", Still it is setting the page1 as deafult in the DLN on click of Role1. Please let me know if any other properties are required to change?

Note : Currently we are using Light framework page fucntionality instead of Default framework page.

Thanks in advance, it would be great help to us if get back to us.

Hi there.

Use a little trick to achieve your goals.

1. Add the Page1 directly to the Workset1 to the top.

2. In the Workset1 open Page1 for editing Properties.

3. Set the property "Default Entry for Folder" of the Page1 to Yes.

4. Set the property "Invisible in Navigation Areas" of the Page1 to Yes.

5. Save your chandges.

Hi

In Content administration - go to your frame work page, open Desktop inner page, Detailed navigation properties and change the property of "Clicking Folder Name Launches First Node" to "true".

Now change default entry for folder and entry point properties as per your requirement.

Navigate to the page from the Role.

Set the the page property 'Default Entry for folder' as Yes for your page 1- that has to be displayed on load of folder2
