  • Navigation Start Level - Where in the hierarchy the breadcrumb component should start to walk down to the current page. For example:

    • 0 starts at /content
    • 1 starts at /content/<yourSite>
    • 2 starts at /content/<yourSite>/<country>
  • Show hidden navigation items - Show pages marked as hidden in the breadcrumb (by default they will not be displayed)

  • Hide current page - Suppress the current page in the breadcrumb (by default it will be displayed)

  • Disable shadowing - If the page in the hierarchy is a redirect, the name of the redirecting page will be shown instead of the target. See the Shadow Site Structure Support of the Navigation Component for more information.

  • ID - This option allows to control the unique identifier of the component in the HTML and in the Data Layer.

    • If left blank, a unique ID is automatically generated for you and can be found by inspecting the resulting page.
    • If an ID is specified, it is the responsibility of the author to make sure that it is unique.
    • Changing the ID can have an impact on CSS, JS and Data Layer tracking.
