The content of the repository has an hierarchical structure, similar to a filesystem.

There are multiple elements to facilitate the navigation between the elements of that structure, the nodes, which are displayed as HTML pages:

  • A Path control allows to change to any ancestor node of the current node.
  • The navigation frame allows multiple navigation.
    • You can navigate to an arbitrary node in the repository using a tree view. Note, that icons displayed in the tree can be configured, please compare Change the view of a page.
    • You can go to a heading within the page
    • Provided the page is a virtual page, you can go to a data mapping within the page.
  • The list of child nodes, which is present in the default and the HTML page can be used to change the path to one of the immediate children. Each entry in the list will have two columns name and type, each with a hyperlink:
  • The Explorer dialog control allows to navigate to an arbitrary node, using a repository explorer. Note, that the navigation control will only be visible, if the navigation frame is not displayed, i.e. if you have chosen to press the minimize button for the navigation frame.
  • The Previous sibling and Next sibling sibling controls allow to move to the previous or next sibling, if it exists.
