About Navigation Menus
A navigation menu is list with hierarchical list entries. When you create an application, the Create Application Wizard automatically creates a navigation menu for you and populates it with list entries linking to the application pages you have created. The example below shows the Sample Database Application with a navigation menu displaying as a sidebar. In this example, the navigation menu includes list entries for the application pages: Home ; Customers; Orders; Reports; and Administration.
