Why SharePoint 2013 have only 2 level global navigation ??

I just want to know why SharePoint 2013 have 2 levels of global navigation hierarchy by default. Is it possible to make it up to 3,4 levels.
For example:
Main Site -> Subsite -> Subsite Nodes -> Subsite Nodes Subsite -> Child Nodes & so on
Something like above hierarchy.
Thanks in advance for your answers..!!

Yes, you can absolutely have more than 2 levels of navigation. You will need to update your master page through to allow for more dynamic levels of navigation.
You might find the following thread helpful.

Also be aware that there was a bug in SP2013 where only two levels of navigation would ever show. This was fixed last year.

  • SharePoint 2013 workflows requires site level contribute access or higher

    I have a SP 2013 workflow on a list that resides on the root of the site collection.  All users have
    contribute rights to this list, to the
    Workflow Tasks list, and to the Tasks list.  But all general users have only READ level access to the site. 
    If users go to the list, click on any item and either try to initiate a workflow or check status of a workflow (by clicking "..." and choose workflows or check item checkbox and choose workflows from ribbon), they get an error of "This site
    has not been shared with you" as it tried to bring the user to http://<root site collection>/_layouts/15/workflow.aspx
    I have tried this with a custom workflow, an out of the box workflow and the result is the same every time.  However by granting any user CONTRIBUTE level access to the site resolves the issue immediately.  I have also gone back and tried this
    on a SP 2010 VM and this was not an issue then.  You could do the same thing in 2010 with only read level access to the site.
    So is this a limitation now with 2013 or a bug???  Surely, the system can't expect that a user needs contribute level access to the entire site just to initiate a workflow of one list.
    Please advise.
    *This READ level access is very important because the root site is extremely publishing heavy and needs to be controlled and maintained by only a select group of users - not everyone that needs access to the workflow.

    I went into the masterpage gallery library and added the users to the read permission level.  They are still having the same issue.
    Thanks,

  • Why we can have only one public class in one source file

    why we can have only one public class in one source file

    When the java compiler is run it looks for classes referenced by the classes you are directly compiling. When looking for these referenced classes it looks for source as well as class files and compiles them automatically if the coresponding class files are missing, or older than the source.
    In order to do this it must be able to work out the source file name for any given class which might be referenced from another (the rule also applies to package level access).

  • SharePoint 2013 users only see custom list and document lists that they uniquely created

    In my first SharePoint 2013 project, I want to create a view where users can only see their own files that they generated. I think I know how to create this view when the list is associated with the 'Documents; folder. However I have created several custom
    lists where I can only see these items when I am on the navigation pane to the right and the unique custom lists are listed under 'recent'.
    Let me know if you can answer any of the following questions:
    1. When on the main SharePoint website, can lists be displayed in other locations than what I just listed? If so, where would I see these other lists?
    2. I would like to include the custom lists that are located in the 'recent' navigation pane as a view that only I can use. This would be based upon userid. If this is possible,  how would you combine the lists lists in the same view? If this is not possible,
    how would you set a view just for the lists listed under the 'recent' section?
    3. The content approval solution under versioning settings of a library to restrict the documents to only ones that the user created (and also Approver rights).  Then if they create a new view they still won't see the documents that were not created by
    them. What about custom lists that are not in the documents area but are in the 'recent' area? Would this restrict users to see only items that they created?
    4. Item level Permissions in advance settings solve this problem for the list in the document area and the custom list in the recent area? If so, how would you setup these values?

    As it turns out the, setting Item-Level Permissions in a library is fully supported with PowerShell!
    The PowerShell commands for changing this are very simple:
    $web = Get-SPWeb http://YourSite/
    $list = $web.Lists[“Your Document Library Name”]
    $list.ReadSecurity = 2
    $list.Update()
    $web.Dispose()
    Note the 3rd line which is where you determine the value for this setting using the following values:
    1 = “Read all items”
    2 = “Read items that were created by the user”
    If you wish to modify the values for Create and Edit access instead, replace .ReadSecurity with .WriteSecurity with
    the following values:
    1 = “Create and edit All items”
    2 = “Create items and edit items that were created by the user”
    4 = “None”
    For example:
    $web = Get-SPWeb http://YourSite/
    $list = $web.Lists[“Your Document Library Name”]
    $list.WriteSecurity = 2
    $list.Update()
    $web.Dispose()

  • How to make SharePoint 2013 search only in document content?

    We are using SharePoint 2013 environment and are facing following issue while doing search in the document library.
     There is  one document library named “MYDOC” .and it has two columns name ‘DocTitle’ and ‘DocTag’.. Although we are able to perform search on basis of document metadata and content, however we only want to search through the content of documents
    in the library and not on the basis of document metadata (like ‘DocTitle’ or ‘DocTag’ columns). Is there a way to restrict search to document content only and not metadata?
    Excluding the column name will not help since, if the searched keyword is exists in metadata as well then that item of library will not come in result. Is there any way of writing query in such a way that only document content will get queried?
    -Aditya

    Addition to the above,
    Show or hide content from lists or libraries in search results
    As a site owner, you can decide whether items in lists and libraries on your site are included in search results. By default every list and library is set to include all items in search results.
     Note    To change this setting, you must have the Manage Lists permission level. The Designer and “Site Name” Owner groups contain this permission level. When you do not have Manage Lists permissions, the menus
    described in this procedure are not available.
    Navigate to the site that contains the list or library that you want to change.
    Locate and click the list or library you want to customize.
    Click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
    Under Site Administration, click Site Libraries and lists.
    Click an item from the list, for example, Customize “Shared Documents.”
    On the List Settings page, under General Settings, click
    Advanced settings.
    In the Search section, under Allow items from this document library to appear in search results, select
    Yes to include all of the items in the list or library in search result or
    No to exclude all items from search results.

  • Does SharePoint 2013 have Power Query services similar to Power Pivot and Power View?

    Does SharePoint 2013 include services to host/support Power Query content similar to the way it hosts Power Pivot content in the Power Pivot Gallery? 

    Miguel.  Is there an update to this?  New information or new timeline?
    We have SP 2013 Enterprise, on-prem.  I'm finding that Power Query 's ability to get CSV or XML or other Web Services content, and then load it up to PowerPivot, is a way to address the lack of ODATA connectivity options on the web.  :-(
    I would very much like to be able to create an XLS doc, with a Power Query to a CSV file, Loaded to PowerPivot, and have SP's Excel Services/PowerPivot engine continue to update the content for me.  It fails today, as you stated above.
    Do you even think this will be updated for the on-prem version of SharePoint 2013 or will it only live in Power BI for Office 365?

  • Disable second level global navigation

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where we want to disable second level menu in global navigation.
    Business Site1
            |
    Business Site 2 --> Business Site 3
    So the currently, the Business Site 2 is clickable. Our requirement is that Business Site 2 should not be clickable, only Business Site 1 and business Site 3 should be clickable.
    Or on click of business Site 2 , business Site 3 should open.
    The setting for global navigation is to inherit from parent site and Show subsite is set to true. So there are no explicit nodes created. All the nodes are for Subsites. In this way when I try to change the settings programmatically, the count of nodes
    is 0 as there are no nodes available.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Victoria,
    Thanks a lot for the above script. That has worked for me and I am able to disable only the second level navigation. Just one correction is needed in the above script. "static" class should be replaced by "dynamic". So the final script would look like this:
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function ()
      $(".s4-tn li.dynamic.dynamic-children > a").attr("href","#");
    });</script>
    The above script will work perfect. I am marking this as answer. Thanks again.
    Just one more question. Will that above script be limited to global navigation only. Won't that affect any other links on the Site.?
    Regards,
    Vijay

  • SharePoint 2013---How to convert current left Navigation into tree view

    Hi All,
    I want to convert current left navigation into tree view in SharePoint 2013. When we click on Modify Navigation and set headers and links; I need that should be convert into tree view. All headers should be expandable to thier links.
    I just want tree view on navigation headers and links. not for all site and subsites which we can enabled from site settings --> Modify All Site settings --> Tree view
    Please help me Master Page editing on Navigation Generation.. Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Anna

    Hi Anna,
    If you want to replace the Quick Launch part with the custom treeview web part in master page, you can comment out or remove the quick launch code block "<!--SPM:<SharePoint:SPNavigationManager id="QuickLaunchNavigationManager.....>....<>-->",
    then insert the custom web part snippet code in proper location in seattle master page, then all pages inheriting the seattle master page will have this web part.
    Note, please back up the master page before customizing the original master page for recovery.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you have some doubts about SAN.
    If you have a SAN, you can leverage it to make SharePoint
    a little easier to manage and to tweak SharePoint's performance. From a management standpoint, SANs make it easy to adjust the size and number of SharePoint's hard disks. What you could refer to this blog:
    http://windowsitpro.com/sharepoint/best-practices-implementing-sharepoint-san. You could find what SAN needs from part “Some
    SAN Basics” in this blog.
    These articles may help you understand SAN:

    Public inner class can certainly be accessed outside.
    You just have to preface it with the name of the outer class.

  • SharePoint 2013 Blog Site not showing current navigation(Left Navigation)

    I have created a blog site but blog pages are not showing my current navigation, it has got its own left navigation, Can i show left (current) navigation? I am trying to find the page layout being used for blog items but unable to find.

    Hi,
    By design, there is a left navigation in the blog site. Like the following image show.
    Please check whether there is CSS style in site to hide the left navigation.
    If you don’t want to use the default navigation, we can also customize a new one.
    We can use SharePoint designer 2013 to modify it(In /_catalogs/masterpage/seattle.master ).

  • Windows Updates for SharePoint 2013 Environment

    Hi
    I created a visual machine for SharePoint 2013 development by following steps mentioned below.
    --Install Winows Server 2008 R2
    --SQL Server 2008 R2
    --SP2 for SQL Server 2008 R2
    --SP1 for Winows Server 2008 R2 
    --Sharepoint 2013 Pre-Requisites
    --Sharepoint 2013 Setup
    --Sharepoint 2013 Designer
    --Installed March and August 2013 Cumulative Updates for SharePoint 2013
    --Installed SP1 for SharePoint 2013
    I want to ask do i need to install Windows Updates after installing different updates as i mentioned above because everty now and then windows updates message keep pops up and i did'nt install windows updates yet.
    Why is it necessary or what impact window updates would have on my environment if i need to do it??

    Windows Updates cover security updates as well as stability improvements, and so on. You're simply patching SharePoint and SQL in the above case.
    It should be noted that any SharePoint patches that come down through Windows Update need to be manually handled as you'll need to run the Config Wizard (e.g. MS14-022 and MS14-050 which are SharePoint updates).
    When you're installing SharePoint 2013, you only need to install SP1 if that is your target. There is no requirement to install March 2013 or August 2013.

  • (Sharepoint Online) TopNavigationMenu - Dynamic display levels 3 - shows URL from currentNav on 3rd level

    Hi,
    I posted on the community support for Sharepoint, but they pointed me here.
    It's my first time around, thanks for your help !
    Here is the problem :
    I have set some sites to have a 3rd level of navigation.
    I have edited the masterpage (seattle) to have de MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="3", and it works well for sites that have a 3rd level of sites configured.
    But for other sites who does not, I am being shown an URL that was added in the current navigation of a site, that points to another site collection, without being a subsite of the current site at all.
    Can you help ? It looks like a bug to me...

    Hi ejutras,
    Per my knowledge, it should be by design that only the sub-sites (and sub-sites' sub-sites) could be fly-out for the site which has enabled the option MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="3"
    for Quick Launch, instead of other separate sites (or other site collections) whose URLs are added in this site quick launch.
