Several profile options control how sections and products appear in the specialty site sections. These are discussed in this section.

Setting the Number of Home Page Tabs and Subtabs
Top-level sections of a site's root node become tabs across the top of the Site Home Page. The second-level sections become the subtabs across the top of the Site Home Page.
The number of tabs and subtabs is controlled by these profile options:

• IBE: Number of Menu Tabs: Specifies the number of menu tabs across the top of the Site Home Page. See the appendix, Profile Options, page A-1, for more
information.
Warning: Do not set this profile option to zero (0). Setting it to zero will cause an application error in the Customer Application.

• IBE: Number of Menu Subtabs: Specifies the number of menu subtabs below the menu tabs on the Site Home Page.

Setting the Number of Child Sections Per Page
The profile option, IBE: Sections Per Page for Display, allows you to set the maximum number of subsections to display on a page before the subsections fall to a new page.

Displaying the Section Path
The profile option, IBE: Use Section Path, determines whether the section path displays in those catalog templates which can display a section path.

Displaying Bins with Seeded Content
Three bins with seeded JSP content are controlled by profile options when using Fixed Layout for sections. These bins are:
• Browse Bin
• Global Bin
• Welcome Bin

Displaying a Set Number of Items in Leaf Sections
The profile option, IBE: Items Per Page for Display, specifies number of items to display in Leaf sections of the hierarchy (the ending sections of a node).

Displaying a Set Number of Items in Sections
The profile option, IBE: Items Per Section for Display, specifies the number of items to display in sections of the hierarchy that contain products.

Displaying a Set Number of Items in Multiple-Section Template
The profile option, IBE: Lines Per Section for Multiple Section Display, specifies the number of items to display per section in Display Templates that show multiple sections.
