Breadcrumbs
Bread crumbs navigation as a list of links, starting with the home page. For more information, see Hiding Breadcrumbs on the Home Page.
Popup Menus
Top-level navigation as a list of links. Click or hover over one of the top-level links displays the children of that page as a popup menu of second-level links. These menus do not include the home node.
Static Menus
Top-level navigation and second-and third-level pages as a list of links. These menus do not include the home node.
Toggle Menus
Top-level navigation as a list of links. Click or hover over one of the top-level links displays the children of that page as a list of second-level links. These menus do not include the home node.
For more information about these controls, see webMethods CAF Tag Library Reference. For information about using webMethods CAF Tag Library Reference, see Finding Information about CAF Controls.
The hierarchy for each of these controls is provided by an application navigation bean, App Nav. Once established, all navigation controls in the web application use the same App Nav bean. In Software AG Designer, use the Application Navigation Configuration Editor to associate the menus with the pages in the application. For more information about configuring application navigation, see Configuring Application Navigation.
