The user navigates on entries in the title area (top-level navigation) and content area (detailed navigation) of a portal page.
The entries used for navigation come from the roles assigned to the user. Entries in a role appear on the portal page:
- In the two-level navigation bar in the title area and
- In the content area in a Java iView (this is the default; alternatively, detailed navigation could also run in the iPanel)
You can influence where the entries appear in the role design.

Navigation is based on two principles:
- Top-level navigation
: Part of the title area of a page consists of a two-level navigation bar with register entries. Its contents are defined during the role design. You define the entries that should appear on the first level of the navigation bar within the folder structure of a role. These are the entry points. The entries lying directly under the entry points in the folder structure of a role are automatically displayed on the second level of the navigation bar. For more information, see
