Breadcrumb widget

The breadcrumb widget indicates the position of the current view in the navigation hierarchy. This can help users orientate themselves within your application and navigate between views. You can use a breadcrumb widget instead of or in addition to a navigation bar.

A breadcrumb widget with two parent levels

The case reference for each view is displayed in the breadcrumb trail. For page casetypes, the reference is usually the page title, such as Home or User management. For standard casetypes, the reference can include details of the individual case, such as the Name attribute or the date the case was created.

For example, the breadcrumb trail for the view of a User case might be Home / User management / Jamie Smith - 456123 (where the reference for the User case consists of the First name and Last name attributes, followed by the case ID).

Each reference to a parent view in the hierarchy is also a link to that page.

Tip:

If you have not configured a reference for standard casetypes, the case ID is displayed. The casetype reference also determines the browser tab title.
