Configuring the Thread Bar

The thread bar appears immediately below the application toolbar. It helps users keep track of their navigational path after drilling down on records that take the user to a view in a different business object.

The thread bar is shown in Figure 66.

Figure 66.  Thread Bar 

The following properties in each view object definition are set in order to configure thread behavior:

• Thread Applet. Specifies which of the applets appearing in the view supplies the data value for the thread field.
• Thread Field. The name of the field whose data value is included in the arrow box, following the Thread Title. This is a field in the business component associated with the applet identified in the Thread Applet property.
• Thread Title. The text used in the thread to identify the view. For example, in most of the views displaying Accounts (such as Account List view and Account Detail - Contacts view), the Thread Title is Acct.
