Navigation Forms

Use the navigation forms with a process flow, data hierarchy, or option listings:

• Process Flow: Each form that shows a business flow should have one starting point and one or more ending points. The lines and arrows walk you through each step of the process. When you encounter a decision point, choose which path best fits your need. The other buttons on the form accelerate access to specific forms within the application.
• Data Hierarchy: Because of  the flexibility of the software, a visual hierarchy listing where data is pulled from is beneficial. This type of navigation form starts with the most specific at the top to most generic at the bottom. The most generic are typically parameter default values.
• Option Listing: Often, more than one method exists to perform an action within the application. This type of navigation form presents all options together, so that you can choose which method works best in different situations.
