Riena/Navigation
The goal of the Riena navigation concept is to make navigation as easy and comfortable as possible for the enterprise user.
Subapplications
The Riena application ist made up from possibly multiple subapplications identifyable by the handles in the top area of the application window.
This example shows a Riena client application with 2 subapplications called 'Navigation' and 'Playground'. The 'Navigation' subapplication is currently selected.
Module Groups, Modules and Submodules
Each subapplication may contain multiple module groups, each module group may contain multiple modules and each module may contain multiple submodules.

The picture to the left shows 3 module groups, the first one containing two modules (named 'Module 1.1.1' and 'Module 1.1.2'). The second and third module group each contain one module only (named 'Module 1.2.1' and 'Navigate', resp). The module named 'Module 1.2.1' cannot be closed by the user as indicated by the absence of the 'X' button in the right corner of the module widget.
Note that only the first module within the first module group is expanded, ie its submodules are visible within the navigation tree. This is because that module is currently selected. We can also see that the first submodule (named 'SubModule 1.1.1.1') is the parent of another submodule (also named 'SubModule 1.1.1.1') and has a sibling (named 'SubModule 1.1.1.2') within the same module. |
