Description

The Section Details Navigation Object outputs information about a Section. The following Section details can be output:

Section ID
Section name
Section path
Link to Section

The Section can either be specified directly, or it can be a Section at a particular level of the Site Structure, allowing different pages to output information about different Sections, depending on the location of the page. For example, this could be used to output a heading above the left navigation that is always the name of the section at Level 2, creating different headings for different areas of the site.
