As a senior security CMS website operation personnel, I am well aware of the core position of navigation links in website structure and user experience.Each element, from the displayed text to the hidden attributes, carries the important responsibility of guiding users and optimizing information delivery.Today, let's delve into the functions of 'Display Name' and 'Subtitle Name' in the security CMS navigation settings, which seem similar but actually serve different purposes.

What is the difference between the 'Display Name' and 'Subtitle Name' of AnQiCMS navigation links?

In the background navigation settings of AnQi CMS, we often see the configuration items of 'Display Name' and 'Subtitle Name'.Although they are all related to the display of navigation link text, there is a clear distinction in functional positioning and actual application scenarios. Understanding and making good use of them can help us build clearer and more expressive website navigation.

'Display Name': The core identifier of navigation

The 'Display Name' is the main text of the navigation link, and it is the most intuitive navigation label that users see on the website front-end.It carries the main responsibility of directing users to a specific page or functional area.When configuring in the background, we can conveniently and flexibly change its content without worrying that it must be completely consistent with the original title of the linked page or category.

An example, a navigation link pointing to the "About UsThe user will see and click on this clear text label directly when browsing the website, thereby understanding the purpose of this navigation item.It's like the big letters on the doorplate, clearly telling visitors what place this is.Even if the original name of a product category is long or contains jargon, we can simplify its 'display name' to a phrase that is more easily understandable by users, in order to optimize the simplicity of navigation and the user experience.

“Subheading Name”：Auxiliary Information for Rich Navigation

Compared to this, the "subheading name" is an auxiliary text field that does not serve as the primary identifier for navigation links, but rather to provide additional information supplementation or multi-dimensional display for the main title.In the design concept of Anqi CMS, it is mentioned that 'For some navigation, it is necessary to display double titles, for example, displaying Chinese and wanting to display English, you can add the corresponding text on the subtitle, for use in front-end call display.'This precisely explains the core value of the 'Subheading Name'.

Its main application scenarios include:

  • Navigation Identifiers for Multilingual WebsitesIn internationalized websites, the main display name can be in Chinese, while the subtitle name can be set in English or other languages, making it convenient for users with different language backgrounds to understand.
  • Provide additional descriptive textWhen the main display name needs to be concise, the subtitle name can be used to add a brief description, feature, or call-to-action phrase to further attract users or explain the specific meaning of navigation.For example, the main display name is 'Product', and the subtitle name can be set to 'Explore our latest collection'.
  • Enhance brand or feature characteristicsEnglish: Sometimes, we want to highlight a sub-brand of a brand or a unique selling point of a feature in navigation, and a subtitle name can do this job well.

It should be noted that whether the "subheading name" is displayed on the front page and how it is displayed is entirely dependent on the design of the website template. It is not a default mandatory display element, but is controlled by the template through specific tags (for example,{{item.SubTitle}},"innavListThe usage of labels is reflected after being called, and then it can be displayed.

Both cooperate to optimize user experience and information presentation.

The "Display Name" and "Subtitle Name" are not mutually exclusive, but rather collaborative, working together to enhance the quality of website navigation.By using a reasonable combination, we can create a navigation system that is both concise and intuitive, as well as informative.For example, the main display name of a 'news information' category, accompanied by the subtitle name of 'daily updated industry trends', can allow users to have a deeper understanding of the column before clicking.

As website operators, we should flexibly apply these two functions according to the specific needs, target audience, and template support of the website.On the basis of ensuring that the main navigation is clear and easy to understand, providing more value to users through "subtitle name" to optimize the overall user experience and content presentation.
