Navigation Path


Concept

During this topic you will learn how the navigation path can help you navigate quickly between a component's sections.


Steps:

  1. Click the Sign In button.

    Step 1

  2. For this topic we will navigate to the Personal Information Summary Page within the Self-Service component.

     

    Click the Main Menu button.

    Step 2

  3. Click the Self Service menu.

    Step 3

  4. Click the Personal Information menu.

    Step 4

  5. Click the Personal Information Summary menu.

    Step 5

  6. The cascading main menu allows you to navigate from a main folder to a subfolder to a page. Within the main and sub folders we have access to other areas of the main component, which in this example is the Self-Service component for Employee transactions.

     

    If you need to navigate to a page within the subfolder Personal Information, then the quickest way is to use the navigation path (also known as breadcrumbs).

    Step 6

  7. Component folders containing additional sub folders or pages will display a down pointing arrow next to the link in the navigation path. In this example we want to access the Emergency Contacts page.

     

    Click the Personal Information button.

    Step 7

  8. As you can see the navigation path link to Personal Information provides you with quick access to all related pages under that sub folder.

     

    Click the Emergency Contacts menu.

    Step 8

  9. Unlike Personal Information, the Self-Service folder not only includes pages, it also contains sub-folders to other components.

     

    Click the Self Service button.

    Step 9

  10. Notice how in this list of options we have access to various component sub folders and at the bottom some pages.

    From here we have quick access to, for example, the Time Reporting component which contains the Reporting Time folder which in contains the Timesheet page.

     

    Click the Time Reporting menu.

    Step 10

  11. Click the Report Time menu.

    Step 11

  12. Click the Timesheet menu.

    Step 12

  13. Notice how the navigation path is updated as we navigate to our final page.

    Step 13

  14. Click the Main Menu button.

    Step 14

  15. You will always have the Main Menu available to navigate to other business areas of CONNECT.
