Notes for Callers

When you programmatically create a custom entity, it does not appear in the application navigation pane unless you edit the SiteMap to display the entity in the location where you want it displayed. Alternatively, in the application edit the entity properties to set Areas that display this entity to the location where you want the entity displayed. For more information, see Change application navigation using the SiteMap.
