15 Adding Navigation

Create application navigation controls including tabs, navigation menus, breadcrumbs, navigation bar entries, and branches

When you build a database application, you can include different types of navigation controls. However, available navigation options depend upon the application theme. Common navigation controls include tabs, lists (including navigation menus), breadcrumbs, navigation bar entries, and branches.

  • About Using Lists as Navigation
    You can add navigation to your application by creating a list (or a shared collection of links).
  • Creating Tabs
    Navigate users between pages in an application using tabs.
  • Creating Breadcrumbs
    Provide users with hierarchical navigation by creating breadcrumbs. You can display a breadcrumb as a list of links or as a breadcrumb path.
  • Creating Classic Navigation Bar
    In older themes, developers add navigation by creating classic navigation bar entries.
  • Controlling Navigation Using Branches
    Add navigation to application pages by creating branches. A branch is an instruction to link to a specific page, procedure, or URL after a given page is submitted.
