Top-Level Navigation Features

Select the Top-level Navigation iView, and choose Open .
Choose All to display all of the properties.

Configure the following properties according to your needs:

`Hovering`	The hover effect allows users to mouse over a first-level tab in top-level navigation to see the second level entries of the tab. The hover feature must be disabled in the following cases: In portals whose Accessibility flag is activated. In desktops used for navigation zoom windows.	Selected: Enables hovering Deselected: disables hovering
`Show Overflow Menu`	If there are more top-level navigation entries than fit the width of the screen, scrolling buttons appear to enable the portal user to scroll through the entries. You can also add an overflow button so that portal users can view all the top-level navigation entries in a dropdown list and select the required item from the list.	`Disabled` : Hides the overflow menu `One Level` : Only displays the overflow menu if the `Number of Display Levels` property is set to 1 `Two Levels` : Displays the overflow menu regardless of the value of the `Number of Display Levels` property
`Cache Level`	To enhance portal performance, you can cache one instance of the top-level navigation iView for each role combination existing in your portal. All users with the same role combination will see the same top-level navigation, and will have the same instance in the cache, but users with different themes/languages/browser versions will have separate top-level navigation instances. If the portal has many roles, and many role combinations, using the top-level navigation cache may not prove efficient.	Set the property value to `Roles` to cache the Top-Level Navigation iView. Note The top-level navigation cache is not automatically refreshed. For optimal portal performance, set the `Cache Validity Period` property to a time span that correlates effectively with the relative stability of the Top-Level Navigation iView.
