The portal’s navigation service and related interfaces enable you to control how users navigate in the portal.

Essentially, the navigation service creates a tree of navigation nodes for each user who enters the portal. Each node represents specific content, or a collection of content, that can be viewed by the user. A set of tools – the navigation service, navigation tag library and navigation iViews – enable you to display the navigation tree for the current user and provide the necessary links for navigation.

This section provides background on how portal navigation works and describes the main tasks for managing portal navigation. This section contains the following:
