The Properties Tab
Excluding items from the navigation, using keywords, and effective and expiration dates.
The Properties Tab
There are 3 items on the properties tab you should know about:
- If you don't want an item to appear in the navigation, click the box preceding "Exclude from navigation".
- Keywords: These have an impact on the number of hits we receive and affect our Google results.
- Select keywords from the "Existing keywords" window, or add new keywords in the "New keywords" window.
- The list of "existing keywords" is organized in two alphabetical lists, the first by capitalized words, and the second by lowercase.
- You can select multiple keywords in the "existing keywords" box by holding the apple key (mac) or the control key (PC) down while you click the desired keywords.
- Suzanne Wayne or Joe Bigler can remove old keywords from the existing keywords.
- A note about adding keywords: if you add new keywords, do not separate them with a comma, but instead, enter each keyword phrase in the new keywords box and separate them with a return.
- Effective and expiration dates: These fields allow you to set the start and end dates on which your page will appear in the navigation. After an expiration date, the page will still be live on your site, but just won't appear in the navigation. You will still need to remove any manual links to the expired page.
