Navigation components

Navigation components specify how users can move through the IBM TRIRIGA portals. Administrators use the Navigation Builder tool to manage portal navigation.

The navigation components include the following elements:

Navigation collection

Hierarchical structures that contain one or more navigation items. Navigation collections can be associated with multiple users and can be invoked from more than one place in IBM TRIRIGA.

Navigation collections can be of the following types:

Menu

Contains menu items that are intended for use in a primary menu. The navigation collection cannot have more than four levels of navigation.

Quick Links

Contains links that are intended for use in a Quick Links portal section. The navigation collection cannot have more than two levels of navigation.

Related Links

Contains links that are intended for use in any portal section type. The Related Links property in the portal section form associates a related links navigation collection to a portal section. The navigation collection cannot have more than one level of navigation.

Navigation items

Elements of a navigation collection, such as landing pages, calendars, charts, hierarchies, reports, applications, and menu groups. A navigation item can be referenced from multiple navigation collections.

Navigation targets

IBM TRIRIGA content or external content that can be navigated to, such as forms, query master or detail displays, scorecards, the Data Modeler tool, and external URLs.
