QuickNav portal navigation component allows you to change the look and feel of
the entire portal browsing experience. QuickNav is a robust component which
lets you design an intuitive navigation structure. QuickNav allows your users
to quickly locate and navigate to applications and information. Best practice
for portal navigation reduces top level navigation to three or four tabs and
removes second level navigation.
Using QuickNav, you can eliminate second level navigation and enhance the
overall user experience by making it easier to find key applications and not
reducing the amount of times the portal has to refresh to present information.
It is key to deliver applications, information and links to internal/external
sites in order to enhance the user experience. Users can quickly locate
applications without having to navigate pages in the portal. This allows users
an easier navigation path and reduces performance issues.
QuickNav also allows the portal to conform to best business practices by
allowing the portal to have one level of navigation with limited tabs.
Configurable Navigation
QuickNav allows you to configure the navigation structure and making it more intuitive for users to find applications and information. The intuitive tree structure can be created with folders that group key functionality and make it easier to navigate. Users can quickly drill down to key areas of interest and launch an application or access content.
Role Based Navigation
QucikNav manages the navigation based on the user’s roles. Navigation structures can be created with folders and links restricted to roles, making it simple to manage and eliminating the need to maintain variations of menus or worksets.
Native Integration with SAP Enterprise Portal
QuickNav uses native portal components to seamlessly integrate into your portal solution. The application is delivered as a portal archive making implementation easy. The user interface style is controlled by the portal theme and can be changed to accommodate the style of your portal.
Integrated Content and Applications
QuickNav integrates navigation in one structure. Users can navigate to internal or external sites, portal pages and content located in SAP Knowledge Management (KM). This integration makes navigation more intuitive and provides better user experience.
