Navigation View

Web Designer Structures and Functions > Navigation Overview

Navigation Overview

Note: The navigation view is hidden by default if you are not currently using it. This feature is designed to provide ease of use.

In the default view, you can find the navigation view on the left of the screen.

To show and hide the navigation view

Proceed as follows.
1. Click or move the mouse over the Navigation control in the left sidebar.
2. Select Navigation in the View menu.
Note: Use the Auto Hide button in the navigation view toolbar to set the navigation view.

Now, only the Navigation control is visible in the program's sidebar.

In the navigation view, select the database object that you wish to edit in 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
Category	Description
Display structure in the "Modules" category	Database objects are displayed in a tree structure. Database objects are found in the Custom and Default root nodes. 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 Web Designer. You have the option to copy these objects and extensions. All custom objects in the Modules category are grouped in the Custom node. 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 the "Component" and "Layout definitions" categories	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.
