UX in Navigation tool

What UX options are in the Navigation tool? Our foundation IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities Navigation Builder enables you to configure a navigation item to display a collection of forms, results of a query, or hierarchical data. In other words, you can define the navigation items in menus or portal sections to open forms, queries, or tools. Within this foundation tool, you can select a UX option such as the Application option.

I. Application

To support our UX framework, you can select the Application option to open a UX app from a navigation item such as a menu item. For example, if you created a new customized Space or Move app, you can add a new item to your main menu to directly open your new app.

II. Application navigation item

Here are the basic steps to add an Application navigation item:

  • Open the Navigation Builder tool. Click Add.

  • Open the Navigation Items Library. Click Add.

  • ​Enter or select the item, icon, and target details.

    • Select Application from the Target Type drop-down list.
    • Select the application from the Application drop-down list.
    • Enter the Target Title if needed.
  • Save the navigation item. Add the item to a navigation collection.
