Navigation form
Completing the Editor tab

Use the Editor tab to specify the structure of the navigation defined this navigation rule. Navigation is built as a hierarchy of nodes. Each node in the navigation rule represents an option that is presented within the user interfaces that include this navigation structure (for example, as a menu bar in an end user portal).

Immediately after using the New window to create a new navigation rule, the Editor tab displays a default node as a starting point. You build a navigation structure by adding nodes as siblings or children to the structure, and then specifying the details for each node. Right-click a node in the hierarchy to use the context menu choices on that selected node: Add node before, Add node after, Add child node, and Delete. Alternatively, select the node and use the buttons:

• — Click to add a new node before the selected node and at the same level in the hierarchy (as a sibling).
• — Click to add a new node after the selected node and at the same level in the hierarchy (as a sibling).
• — Click to add a new node as a child of the selected node.
• —Click to delete the selected node.
• — Click to refresh the structure as displayed on the Editor.

In the Editor tab, the following information about the navigation structure is displayed:

Field	Description
Label	This column displays the nodes defined in the navigation. The displayed text is the label that is used for this node in the user interface at run-time (for example, as a choice in a menubar in a portal). To specify the details associated with a node, such as its label and tooltip, double-click the node in the Label column. The Node Details window opens where you make your selections for the node.
Type	One of the following node types: Item, Item List, Reference, Custom, Separator, Selected Item. A node's type is specified in its node details.
Action	The interaction that happens when the node is selected in the user interface that includes this navigation structure (for example, when the user clicks the node in a portal). A node's action is specified in its node details.
