Defining the Navigation Structure 

Use

When using navigation requests, for each BSP application determine the initial page, the navigation methods and the target pages in a table with navigation paths. The advantage of graphics is that you can change the navigation structure later without having to make changes to the code. 

In this example, the first page default.htm, is displayed first. From here, the end user can search for specific authors and a corresponding results list (results.htm) is output. The navigation request TORESULTS controls the navigation procedure that opens the results page.

If the end user chooses the button to list of authors on the first page, a list of all authors in the corresponding database table is output. The navigation request TOAUTHORS controls the navigation procedure that opens this list.

Procedure

...

       1.      Position your cursor on the name of your BSP application and double-click. Choose Navigation in the right-hand part of the tab page. 

       2.      Specify the first page and the target page, and enter the name of the appropriate navigation request.

Result

When the end user chooses the button to list of authors on the first page, a list of all authors in the corresponding database table is displayed on the page authors.htm.
If on the other hand you are searching for specific authors, a list of the results is displayed on the results.htm page.

This type of navigation procedure allows you to make changes at any time quickly and easily.

 Now go on to the Layout for the List of Authors
