Enabling Dynamic Navigation
Dynamic navigation is disabled by default. To enable dynamic navigation:
1. Choose Serving > Dynamic Navigation.
2. Click Enable.
To disable dynamic navigation, click Disable.
Creating a Configuration and Adding Attributes
By using the Serving > Dynamic Navigation page, you can configure different attributes in different
configurations and apply the configurations to different front ends. Because an attribute that you add
by using this page must exactly match the metadata NAME, ensure that you have the correct name from
the metadata attribute before adding the dynamic navigation attribute.
To add a new configuration and attribute:
1. Click Serving > Dynamic Navigation.
2. Under Existing Configurations, click Add.
3. In the Name box, type a name for the new configuration.
4. Under Attributes, click Add.
5. In the Display Label box, type the label for the attribute.
6. In the Attribute Name box, type the name of the attribute.
7. Select the attribute type from the Type pull-down menu.
8. If the type is INTEGER, FLOAT, CURRENCY, or DATE, click Range Attribute, if appropriate.
9. If the attribute is a Range Attribute, then provide the range values. No sorting options are
available for range attributes. The values appear in the order entered.
If the attribute is not a Range Attribute, then select the sorting options for the attribute. You can
select to sort the attribute values by either counts or by values themselves and in ascending or
descending order.
10. Click OK.
11. To add more attributes in this configuration, repeat steps 4 to 10.
12. Under Front Ends, apply the configuration to one or more front ends by selecting a front end
names from the Available Front Ends box. Selecting them moves them to the Added Front Ends
box. To remove the added front ends, select them in the Added Front Ends box and they will move
back to the Available Front Ends box. The front ends added to one configuration are not available
in other configurations.

under More Options and select one of the following authorization modes:
• Use only fast authorization (see “Fast Authorization Mode” on page 48)
• Use all types of authorization (see “All Authorization Mode” on page 48)
