The thing is that only regular daughters of a virtual father collection are shown on the right-hand side. You probably want to make all sons of your virtual collections real, in which case they will be displayed in the Focus-on part of the tree. Concretely speaking, `AUST Institutes and Departments' and `Students and Reserchers' are two virtual collections that offer an orthogonal way of navigating inside the AUST document corpus that is otherwise classified according to document type on the lhs. (This constitutes `regular classification' while `Students and Researchers' constitute `virtual classification'.) But, within `Students and Researchers' virtual collection itself, the sub-collections `PhD' and `MSc' offer regular sub-classification of this collection, so to speak; there is no other classification there. Hence, if you make all collection types regular except for the first rhs level -- `AUST Institutes and Departments' and `Students and Reserchers' should stay virtual -- you may achieve what you are looking for. The above regular-virtual link type setup offers flexible and complex scenarios where a certain virtual collection can have both regular and virtual daughters defined, possibly further nested and cross-nested. (Still, only regular daughters will be shown on the home page.) If I have misunderstood your use case scenario, please let me know. Best regards -- Tibor Simko
