About the Thread Bar in the User Interface
The thread bar, shown in Figure 6, appears immediately below the application toolbar. It helps you keep track of your navigational path when you drill across to a view on another screen using record hyperlinks. You can return to a previous point in the path by clicking the corresponding name on the thread bar. When you drill across screens using record hyperlinks, you remain in the same thread, which means that you may find yourself in a new screen and view, but you will not see all the records available in that screen and view. For example, if you were in the thread shown in Figure 6, you would see only the opportunities associated with the contact, Davis. If you want to see every opportunity to which you have access, you must click the current screen tab. Similarly, when you navigate to another screen using a screen tab or the Site Map, the thread bar resets and begins tracking your new path.
