The global context area allows users to see and access a variety of information quickly. The items that are displayed on the global context area depend on the modules and applications that have been installed in your environment.
The global context area is comprised of three separate navigation containers, the PrimaryNavContainer, the SecondaryNavContainer and the OptionsNavContainer. Each navigation container is a component of type NavContainer, which defines the navigational item components of type NavItem that will be displayed in the UI. The following individual navigation classes make up the entire global context area architecture:

DynamicNavActionsare those that can change in availability, appearance or execution, depending on the current state of the agent’s environmentNavActionContainer– This component defines one or moreNavActionsavailable to theNavItemNavActionFactory– ANavActionFactorycomponent provides one or moreNavActions. These components are referenced by theNavActionContainerto provide the availableNavActions

The NavAction component contains properties for a resource bundle and a label, as well as a JavaScript function call. These properties can be modified to customize the NavAction. The labels for the components are all localized in a resource bundle, which is typically FrameworkResources.
