8.    Optional: select or create a new Error Message.
The error message will display on the control for the action that was being performed at the time of the error.

a.    If left blank, the default error message, "An error occurred while performing [Insert Action]. If the problem persists, please contact the site administrator", will display. [Insert Action] will be substituted with the action the control was performing at the time of the error.

b.    If you wish to change the default error message, customize it with a PWF Parameter. See Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

9.    Check the Read Only checkbox.

a.    When this check box is checked, the breadcrumb to is a read-only field. When it is in read-only mode, the words act as links that take you back to the Search Page URL.

b.    When this check box is not checked, the breadcrumb will display with x’s in the left navigation next to the elements. This allows parts of the filter to be changed without sending the user to another page.

10.  From the Search Page Url line, click edit.
The Select/Edit Personify Web Parameter screen displays, as shown below.

a.    Click the select link next to the appropriate PWF parameter.
You should set the PWF parameter to a value that will redirect the user to the product listings when crumbs are clicked. The option is used in read-only mode.
If this PWF parameter does not exist or you would like to create a new one, see Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

Note.pngThe Search Page Url does not have to be defined if product listings are on the same page and the Read Only checkbox is not checked.

11.  Check the Vertical Display Mode checkbox.
Select this check box if you would like the breadcrumb to display vertically. It will default to a horizontal display if this box is not checked.

12.  Click Save.
