About the UI Navigation Model
Users navigate between screens and views using tabs, links, and drop-down lists that appear in one of the following four levels of the UI:
- First level. Screen tabs that allow users to navigate between screens.
- Second level. Links to groups of views (categories) or single views. These links can appear:
- In the link bar directly below the screen tabs.
- In a view drop-down list that appears in the header of applets. Typically, views that appear here filter data based on visibility rules. Examples of these types of views are My Contacts, My Team's Contacts, and All Contacts.
- Third level. View tabs that allow users to navigate to groups of detail views (detail categories) or single detail views.
- Fourth level. One of the following, depending on the Web template being used:
- Links in the link bar directly below the view tabs.
- View tabs on a grand-child applet.
- Links in a drop-down list.
NOTE: There are other UI elements that also allow users to navigate, such as site map, drilldowns, and the thread bar.
Figure 62 shows the UI elements in each navigation level.
