  3. Display Name: The name that will be used in the site’s navigation, as the page heading above the main content area, and in the breadcrumbs below the impact image.
  4. Index Page: The system name of a folder’s landing or entry page. Every folder must have a page called index for your navigation to function properly. Do not change the system name of an index page or you’ll lose the entry page of that folder.
