-===Step 1: Create Type Hierarchy===+===Step 1: Create a 'Link' Property===
  
-The first step is to create a **type** called 'Navigation'. Under this type, you'll build your hierarchy of options. +In **Administration|Properties**, create a new **URL** property called //Link//. This will store the actual URL the user goes to when they choose one of your options. 
 + 
 +===Step 2: Create Type Hierarchy=== 
 + 
 +Next, we need to build our hierarchy. Create a **type** called 'Navigation', and give it the 'Link' property we created in step 1. 
 + 
 +Under this type, you'll build your hierarchy of options. 
  
 For example, our **Small Examples** demo site has the following... For example, our **Small Examples** demo site has the following...
  
 {{singlevislayout.png|200}} {{singlevislayout.png|200}}
 +
 +This lays out a very simple hierarchy - there are three 'folders' represented by the three types - namely, **River System**, **Rolling Mill** and **Wind Farm**.
 +
 +===Step 3: Create Destination Assets===
 +
 +Lastly, create assets in your ARDI database that represent each of the buttons you'd like your users to be able to press.
 +
 +Normally these will represent individual visualisations, reports, infographics etc.
 +
 +Each should be given...
 +
 +1) The appropriate //type// you defined in step 1. For example, giving an asset the type 'River System' means that it will appear as a button under the 'River System' menu.
 +
 +2) The 'Link' property, which contains the URL to the target page. 
 +
 +===Other Tricks===
 +
 +Now that you've set up some of your key visualisations as assets, you can also //link assets to these visualisations//.
 +
 +Create a new relationship called **Visualisation**. You can then use this to link your physical assets (ie. pieces of equipment) //to the reports and infographics they appear on//.
 +
 +This will automatically add links in their **media** section that take you directly to each of the key reports, infographics, dashboards and other content that is related to them.
