i want to create a menu and a footer which would help in navigating within an Office 365 SharePoint Site. Should I use structural navigation or Managed Metadata under Global Navigation?
The menu would display the items listed under the main Category when clicked on it.
- Home
- Services->Fleet Management, Courier, Freight Forwarding, Consulting
- Company->Board Members, History, Principles
- Safety->Security, Response, Emergency
Also, these are the same terms that would be displayed in the footer in a rectangular block in the Master Page.
How should i go about creating the menu and footer for the site. Please help…
Adding menus at the footer will be different in SP Online especially if you’re using Modern UI.
Here’s an excerpt from Microsoft Docs on what is supported and no longer supported in Office 365 environment.
Supported customizations for “modern” pages
The following list gives a quick overview of the supported capabilities for “modern” pages:
Custom branding
Adding “modern” pages programmatically
Adding, deleting, and updating client-side web parts on “modern” pages
Alternative layouts (see note on SharePoint Virtual Summit)
These customizations are currently not supported for “modern” pages:
Adding “classic” web parts on “modern” pages
Custom CSS via AlternateCSSUrl web property
Custom JavaScript embedded via user custom actions (see note on SharePoint Framework Extensions)
Custom master pages (more extensive branding will be supported later using alternative options)
