Site map page template
Use the site map page template to show all pages and files in a tree structure. Site maps are useful for:
- visitors who know what they are looking for
- site administrators who want to see an overview of their site
The site map page template automatically updates when content within the site changes – say, when you add or delete a page. View an example.
Each page has an icon denoting its status – a faded icon denotes that the page is not visible in the local navigation:
Home page of a subsite. | |
There are pages beneath this page; select the icon to expand the tree and view the child pages. | |
This page does not have any child pages. |
Site maps obey page permissions. If visitors don't have view permission for a particular page, they don't see the respective page in the site map. Protected pages that visitors have permission to view are denoted by a padlock icon.

Specify whether you wish to include uploaded files, forwarding pages or extra details about the size of each section of your site by selecting the appropriate checkboxes:
-
Enter the URL of the site map's topmost page – without the
https://warwick.ac.uk
part. For example, to make a site map of the SiteBuilder help, the topmost page would be:/services/its/servicessupport/web/sitebuilder2/faqs/
The default is the home page of the current site but you can specify any page.
