Term store management

Hi Everybody,

 

I've been trying to create a top navigation bar, the top navigation appears but I m not able to do any modifications. 

When I go to site setting -> term store management 

I don't have the same settings display as those shown in the demos ( Please see attached 2 pictures )

I would like to get the navigation tab as Pic1

Pic1 is the one I would like to be displayed

Pic2 is the one I currently have displayed 

 

And anytime I want to make change I got that message " This operation cannot be completed. The term store may be unavailable" 

 

Do you guys know why ?

if so, Could you please tell me how to proceed ? 

I might need to activate a feature that will have the desired display ?

 

Many thanks 

Kind regards,

Fatim

    Hi Fatim,

    You need to ensure to set "Use this Term Set for Site Navigation" under the termset before adding navigations under terms. refer to below image for the information.

     

    Since i have set "Use this termset for site navigation" , i will be able to see navigation tab in the terms under this termset (refer to next image).

     

    Please note below that, i can see Navigation tab under the term "Account" which is under the termset "HR"

     
    Now, if you are not able to make this change or if the option is disabled then you are not the owner. You need to contact your sharepoint admin to make this change at Farm or tenant level.

      Thank you so much Rajashekhar Sheelvant for your response. When I tried to make any change I got a popup message ( This operation cannot be completed. The term store may be unavailable ) . My manager gave me Central Administration but I m not able to see anything for now. Many thanks

    Hi Fatim1008 , just quickly looking at your screenshots, did you tick the box for the navigation to be in the intended use? Once you've done that, hit Save, then the navigation tab should appear.

        Hi Fatim1008 I've just noticed from your screenshot that you have a nicely named Term Store, I gather you're on-prem. What version are you running?
