Navigational Constructs
The user interface has four navigational constructs that allow you to access screens and views.
- First Navigational Level (Primary Tabs or Screens). The tab bar consists of tabs allowing you to select a Screen. By using one of these tabs you can navigate to that Screen's default View. Refer to Primary Tab Bar.
- Second Navigational Level (Visibility picklist, Show picklist, or Context Views picklist). The Visibility picklist allows you to select a specific View within the current primary tab (Screen). The set of Views listed in this picklist are not all of the Views in the Screen; rather they are the context views, generally those Views that have visibility defined, such as My Accounts or My Team's Opportunities. Selection of a context View in the second-level picklist establishes visibility for the Views obtainable from the third-level tabs. Refer to Visibility Picklist and Detail Tab View Bar.
- Third Navigational Level (Detail View Tabs). Detail View tabs allow you to navigate from the context View initially selected in the Visibility picklist to a non-context View. This tab bar resides at the top of the detail applet. These tabs provide a form of drilldown: when the user selects a record in the upper applet and chooses a detail View tab, the application navigates to a new View in which the master record is the one selected in the previous view. Refer to Visibility Picklist and Detail Tab View Bar.
- Fourth Navigational Level (Subcategory Views Picklist, Current View Picklist). The subcategory views (fourth navigational level) picklist appears inside an applet, just beneath the row of third-level view drilldown tabs. It allows the user to choose a view from the category represented by the selected third-level view bar tab, when the view bar tab is for a category rather than an individual view. Refer to Subcategory Views.
