Navigating In and Managing the Context Navigator

As you view details for additional items related to the top-level item in the Context Navigator, the list of items and category lists lengthens. The Context Navigator contains controls that let you expand and contract the lists, remove items from the Navigator, and focus in on specific items. You can resize the width of the Navigation pane as you can most windows.

To do this:
Perform these steps:
Contract an item's category list or the list of viewed items under a category.
For example, to contract the category list for Task-5000...
  • Click to the left of the item or category name.
  • The list contracts and is replaced with so you can expand it again.

Expand an item's category list or the list of viewed items under a category.
For example, to expand the category list for Task-5000...
  • Click to the left of the item or category name.
  • The list expands and is replaced with so you can contract it again.

Close an item's category list.
For example, to close the category list for Task-5000...
  • Click to the right of the item name.
  • The item name and its category list are removed from the Context Navigator. The item is not deleted from the database or removed from the top-level item.

Move an item to the top level of the Context Navigator, making it the root item for the Navigator.
For example, to move Task-5000 to the top level of the Context Navigator and remove the route and its categories...
  • Click to the right of the item name.
  • The item and its category list moves to the top of the Context Navigator. All items and category lists that were above the item are removed from the Context Navigator. A appears next to the item's name, allowing you to return to the previous listing.

Go back to the previous display of category lists.
For example, to return to the category list for Route-5000 after moving a task to the top...
  • Click to the right of the item name.
  • The Context Navigator displays the items and category lists that were previously displayed (before you clicked the Move to Top arrow). You can continue to click until you reach the original top-level item, which has no . For example in the graphic below, Route-5000 has no because it was the original top-level item in the Context Navigator.
