Background documentationUse Case Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The following is a typical situation illustrating the usefulness of object-based navigation:

  • A source iView displays a customer list.

  • A Customer business object is created with the operation Details.

  • Two navigation targets are assigned to the operation Details:

    • Customer Details, showing contact information about the selected customer

    • Customer Stock Status, showing information relating to the customer's orders

  • Two users, A and B, having different roles, click an OBN link for business object Customer, operation Details.

    A is a sales person, B is a sales manager and a sales person.

  • The navigation triggered for user A returns Customer Details.

    The navigation triggered for user B returns Customer Stock Status. User B is allowed to see both targets, but the sales manager role has the higher priority.
