Tree structures allow managing tree nested hierarchical structures of items, like such as portal header menu and card structure, more effective and easier. This functionality is intended to reduce work efforts spent on portal structure configuration. The point is that menu and catalog content can nested portal items can now be managed through a special tree-like structure, making this process easier and more effective.
Using tree structures, you can create a card hierarchy a node hierarchy with any predefined nesting level that allows easily implementing navigation structure on a portal.

It is recommended to recreate portal elements (headers and cards) using tree structures if you are using customized ones. Otherwise, you may face faults in portal headers or card structure functioning. |

Tree structures in brief
...
To configure a tree structure from scratch, follow the steps below:
...
| Field | Mandatory | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Title | Y | Node title. This field can be populated in any language supported by the platform. | ||
| Active | By selecting this checkbox, you can make a node active or inactive. | |||
| Simple tree | Y | Select a previously created tree containing information about the structure. | ||
| General tab fields | ||||
| Access criteria | N | Specify the User Criteria defining user access to this node (card or header element). If no criteria selected, then all users are allowed to use this element and its sub-elements as long as they are not protected by separate criteria. | ||
| Node type | N | Specify a node type by choosing from the previously created. | ||
| Nesting level | Y | Node nesting level. This field is populated automatically. This parameter shows on which nesting level this item is located at. | ||
Extra attributes tab | ||||
| This tab appears if the used node type has the RE model specified, and the Need URL attribute of the node type is enabled. | ||||
| URL | Y | Specify an URL for an item. In this field, you can specify either absolute or relative URL (relative to the current portal referring to the tree to which the current node is assigned):
| ||
| Icon | N | Specify an icon for an item by attaching it from your device.
