- Click or mouse over the Navigation control, which is positioned vertically on the left-hand side of the start page.
- In the View menu, select Navigation.

In the navigation view, select the database object that you wish to edit in the Web Designer. Database objects are grouped into different categories. The different categories have different functions which you see depending on what you select. The following categories are available:
- Modules
- Components
- Web projects
- Project files
- Form Types
- Layout definitions
The structure of displayed database objects varies within each category. The following table describes the different category display structures individually. Categories with similar display structures are described together.
Table 7: Display structure of database objects in the different categories
| Display structure in the "Modules" category |
Database objects are displayed in a tree structure.
Database objects are found in Custom and Default.
Objects grouped under the Default node cannot be edited in a custom installation of One Identity Manager and are part of a default installation of the Web Designer. You can copy these objects or extensions.
All custom objects in Modules are grouped in Custom. Modules, that are added to a custom installation are automatically groups under these root nodes.
Custom root nodes are displayed above the Default root nodes in the tree structure. |
| Display structure in "Component" and "Layout definitions" |
Database objects form individual groups of objects.
Database objects from these categories are not grouped within the Custom and Default root nodes but form individual groups of objects.
Each group of objects can contain custom as well as default objects that have been available since initial installation. |
To make database objects easier to find, they are displayed in Search results and Recent files groups. For more information, see Navigation menu functions.
Extensions are displayed as subnodes for the module or component for which they were created. You also see these subnodes under groups, search results, and recent files. For more information, see Extensions.
