Navigation concept
In Build 5 we have implemented a new namespace,stbl_Navigation, for the menu in CR3 and Web3. The new structure is much tighter compared to the menu namespace with foreign key relations and check constraints.
In CR3 we have also changed the look and feel of the how to open the forms and look for forms. We have introduced the use of shortcuts, which are items private for the user. These are listed on the left side of the Main form.
As part of this, the user can create his/her own shortcut list by adding groups and items. As an extra feature there are also support for distributing the shortcuts from a manage perspective to users and groups. This can be handled inside the Manage Navigation form.
To search among items that a user has permission to, we have implemented an Open (search) dialog. The search field on top of the dialog will search among all items (reports, forms, files and URLs).
With the combination of shortcuts and the open dialog we are able to provide a menu system which easily can grow to contain many modules and items without loosing the ease of searching and opening the items that the user is looking for.
