Creating Navigation LinksLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

Before you can define a navigation link, you must create an outbound plug for the start view and an inbound plug for the subsequent view.

See Creating a Plug

Context

You create a link to implement the navigation between two views of a Web Dynpro application in the graphical Navigation Modeler tool.

Procedure

  1. In the Web Dynpro Explorer, start the Navigation Modeler by choosing the context menu entry Open Window Editor for the corresponding window name of your component.
  2. In the selection area, choose Link .
  3. Use the mouse to draw a line from the outbound plug of the start view to the inbound plug of the subsequent view. When you have finished the line, a plug symbol is displayed to indicate that the connection has been implemented.

Results

In the Navigation Modeler, the link is displayed as a line between the outbound plug of the start view and the inbound plug of the subsequent view. In the Web Dynpro Explorer, the navigation link is displayed as an entity of the outbound plug.
