Top-Level Navigation

Use

The top-level navigation bar is your entry point for navigating through the content assigned to your roles. Depending upon your portal settings, it consists of either:

• One level of tabs

  The first level tabs are your highest-level folders and usually reflect the tasks of a specific role.

  Clicking a tab displays all subsequent levels of content, including additional roles and folders that are assigned to you, in a tree structure in the Detailed Navigation area of the navigation panel.

• A first level of tabs and a second level of subtabs

  • Clicking a tab displays its subtabs.

  • If hovering is enabled in your portal, then pointing to a first level tab displays its subtabs. Note that a portal that has its Accessibility flag turned on has its hover feature disabled.

  • The subtab folders compartmentalize the role into manageable tasks. Folder contents can include other folders, pages, and iViews.

  • Clicking a subtab:

    • Displays the next levels of content folders in the Detailed Navigation iView.

    • Launches a service or page that provides relevant content, if there is no third level of content.

Procedure

Depending on your portal settings, you can arrange the tabs in top-level navigation according to your needs using drag and drop. To return the order of top-level navigation tabs to their original order, choose Personalize  Reset Order of Tabs.

If you have a large number of tabs in top-level navigation, you can scroll through the tabs using the provided scrolling arrows. If your portal administrator has defined tabsets, you can choose a tabset from the View  Tabsets menu to view a subset of your tabs. Choose All to view all of your tabs.
