Item Type

•Current Topic - the list of links will contain child items of the currently viewed topic.

•Parent TOC Item - the list of links will contain child items of the parent TOC item relative to the current topic.

•Root-Level Parent Item - the list of links will contain child items of the first-level parent TOC item relative to the current topic.
