Overview

This function is used to maintain the site structure of the site you are logged into. The site structure is the overall structure of the web site. The site structure is built of site elements.

Site elements are menu, frameset, URL, and business process.

 

For frameset and menu elements you can add new elements where the added element will appear as a child to the frameset/menu element in the site structure.

Child elements to a menu is menu items in the menu and child elements to a frameset is frames for the frameset.
