Overriding Navigation Keys
Your implementation may choose to design a program component (e.g., a maintenance transaction or search page) to replace a component provided by the system. When doing this, the new navigation key must indicate that it is overriding the system navigation key. As a result, any menu entry or navigation options that reference this overridden navigation key automatically navigates to the custom component.
For example, if you have a custom On-line Batch Submission page and would like users to use this page rather than the one provided by the system, setting up an override navigation key ensures that if a user chooses to navigate to the On-line Batch Submission from Menu or a context menu, the user is brought to the custom On-line Batch Submission page.
To create an override navigation key, you need to:
• If the Navigation Key Type of the navigation key being overridden is External, specify a Navigation Key Type of Override (Other) and define the appropriate URL Component.
• If the Navigation Key Type of navigation key being overridden is System, specify a Navigation Key Type of Override (System) and populate the Program Component ID with your custom program component ID.
• Specify the navigation key that you are overriding in the Overridden Navigation Key field.
Refer to the Tool Suite Guide for more information about developing your own program components.
