Default text string references
Here's a list of all the Default Text strings available in the Top Navigation Knowledge Base Section:
| Default Text String | Description | Additional notes/description | Screenshot References |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knowledge Base Logo | Knowledge base logo alt text | This sets the alt text used where your knowledge base logo is used; it won't impact the visual display of the logo at all. It will only be displayed to readers if the logo image is broken, and can be read by screen-readers. | Top Navigation text-only screenshot, #4 |
| Contact Us | Text for link to Contact Form | This adjusts the text used for the link to the Contact Form. Only applies if you have the Contact Form enabled and the contact template merge code used. | Top Navigation visible screenshots, #1 |
| Login | Text for reader login option | This adjusts the text for the "login" option if your Security and access > Security settings has default access set to public but also has reader logins enabled. | Top Navigation visible screenshots, #3 |
| Logout | Text for reader logout option | If reader logins are enabled, this adjusts the text for the "logout" link. | Top Navigation visible screenshots, #2 |
| Toggle navigation | Text for search icon on mobile devices, screen-reader only | On mobile devices where the screen is quite small, the search bar in top navigation is collapsed under an icon. This text label is used for screen-readers only. If you have a knowledge base created before June 2023, you'll also need to update Customize > Style to recognize these text changes. Refer to Update Style Settings with Customize Text merge code for more details. | Top Navigation text-only screenshot, #5 |
| Table of Contents | Text for table of contents button, screen-reader only | This text label is used as the text for the Table of Contents button. It is generally only displayed to screen-readers.
