Navigation Flow Design Best Practices and Naming Considerations

Design Best Practices

To provide an optimal user experience and to avoid excessive scrolling on the Home page and within cards and tabs, you must adhere to the following guidelines when designing navigation flows:

• Keep the top level items (cards and clusters) to no more than 16 visible items.

• Add no more than 16 visible cards to a cluster.

• Add no more than 10 visible vertical tabs within a card.

• Add no more than 20 visible sub tabs (horizontal tabs) within a vertical tab.

• Label names on sub tabs (horizontal tabs) display only the first 30 characters at runtime. Hovering your cursor over the tab reveals the entire label.

Note:

If you attempt to exceed the visibility limits, you will see a warning message telling you that you've exceeded the limit.

Naming Considerations

There are naming restrictions for navigation flows, cards, clusters, tabs, and infolets (if your business process uses infolets) in navigation flows. You cannot use these special characters:

• ampersand ( & )

• less than sign ( < )

• greater than sign ( > )

• quotation mark ( " )

• backslash ( \ )

• plus sign ( + )
