Element Type Definition
| Element Type Name | NAVIGATION_ACTION_ITEM |
| Short Name | NAI |
| View Name | CI_NAVIGATION_ACTION_ITEMS |
| Description | An ACTION_ITEM indicates the user needs to be given the option to take |
| a certain action when in a MODULE_COMPONENT_INCLUSION (e.g. in a | |
| particular block in a form) or in a WINDOW. The representation of the | |
| ACTION_ITEM in the user interface of the generated module will | |
| typically be as a button located at the appropriate place and/or a | |
| menu option. | |
| This sub-type of ACTION_ITEM provides the capability to navigate to | |
| to another module component inclusion in the same module or to another | |
| module, from the context window or module component inclusion | |
| When a NAVIGATION_ACTION_ITEM is used to navigate to another module, | |
| and appropriate MODULE_NETWORK should exist. | |
| When a NAVIGATION_ACTION_ITEM is used to navigate from one module | |
| component inclusion to another in the same module, a defined link may | |
| or may not exist between them (ie a KEY_BASED_LINK or a SHARED_DATA_ | |
| LINK). If this is the case, then the generators will detect and make | |
| use of this information, but it is not a requirement for such a link | |
| to exist. | |
