| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | The label is displayed the title of the virtual navigation tree, when you click on the corresponding tab. |
| Property | It is the filtering property, that must exist in your document typology. First select the schema, then the vocabulary, and so the metadata, that will be used for the match. It can be a single or multi-valued vocabulary. |
| Additional query filter |
You can use it to add more criteria to the search that will be run when the user clicks on a value in the virtual navigation. You can specify a given type (ecm:primaryType=...) or leverage modification date, or whatever that respects NXQL syntax. See here for more information on the NXQL query syntax.

| Vocabularies | Add here as many entries as you want levels in the virtual navigation tree. Even when all the values are in the same vocabulary, whatever the level, you need to reference this vocabulary at each level of the tree. |
| Icon | Select the icon that will be displayed on the new virtual navigation tab. You can use icons uploaded in "Resources". |
