The system has two entities that work in conjunction with
each other to specify how navigation works:
-
Navigation Key defines a unique location to which a
user can navigate. For example, each page in the system has a
unique navigation key. Navigation keys can also define
locations that are "outside" of the system. For example, you
can create a navigation key that references an external URL.
Think of a navigation key as defining "where to go".
-
Navigation Option defines how a page is opened when a
user wants to navigate someplace. For example, you might have
a navigation key that identifies a specific page. This
navigation key can then be referenced on two navigation
options; the first navigation option may allow users to
navigate to the page in "add mode", while the second
navigates to the page in "update mode".
- Please note that a wide variety of options can be defined
on a navigation option. In addition to defining if a page is
opened in add or update mode, you can define which tab is
opened, which fields should be passed to the page, which
search program is used, etc.
