254 Part 5: Let’s continue the development Navigation map The navigation map defines the organization of your site. In SEO, it has two uses: • allow you to display the "Site map" control to guide the Web users within the site. • generate the sitemap.xml file. ▶ To define the navigation map: 1.  In the ribbon, on the "Project" pane, in the "Web" group, click "Navigation map". 2. A window is opened, allowing you to build the tree structure of your site. An automatic build mode can help you create a tree structure by automatically detecting the links between pages. The navigation map can be configured later. ▶ The sitemap file is automatically built by WEBDEV from the navigation map. It is generated in the _WEB directory of your site and it is named _sitemap.xml. The sitemap.xml file must be supplied to the tools for webmasters of search engines so that they can index the content of your site. Physical naming of pages To improve SEO even more, you can define the physical name of AWP pages so that it is different in every language (and different from the logical name as well). For example, a page displaying a sales dashboard whose logical name (the name used in programming) is PAGE_SalesDASH can be generated in French in the ‘tableau-de-bord-ventes.awp’ file and in English in the ‘sales-dashboard.awp’ file. ▶ To configure the generation name of a page: 1. Display the description window of "PAGE_List_of_new_products" page. 2.  In the "General" tab, click the "Language" button ( ) on the right of "Generated file" control. 3. A window used to configure the name of generated pages is displayed: 4. You can change the page name and validate.
