I am just starting to play with DotNetNuke, so I am not yet sure what it actually can or can't do. However, in considering my various options, I am planning on having a Departments menu option on a government website. The submenu's would be the names of the departments; Auditor, Surveyor, Treasurer. While I realize that I could have yet another submenu under the specific department, I didn't think this would be very efficient for navigation within a specific department.

Unless there was a better way, I was considering using the Link module to provide an additional navigation menu (in the left or right content panes) for navigating the pages in a specific department or sub-level. My problem is that I believe each page would require its own Link list, so whenever a new page was added, I would have to update all of the other pages on that level.

Is it possible to automatically generate the links list based on the non-disabled pages at any given level or to use the same list of links on muliple pages so that when the list is updated on one page, all of the pages are affected. Another possibility would be to add a second submenu (beneath the main menu), that would list all of the pages at that level (with the levels being determined by the pages parent element).

Thank-you in advance for any help you can provide.

There are various sitemap and menu modules available - for free or commercial - that allow to present only parts of the navigation tree - this should allow you to build automatically all the navigation you like.
