Implementing Sub-Screens in Navigation Pages Using List Items

Lists can be used to implement sub-screens in Navigation Pages. There are two supported list items for Lists in Navigation pages: Form Item and Nav Item.

  • Form Item: The Form Item creates a sub-screen which is a Form Page. This can be used to create a form to collect user input or to display data in a tabular format.

  • Nav Item: The Nav Item creates a navigation Page and appends it to the navigation hierarchy. This can be used to create a new level of navigation or to create a link to another screen.

To add a sub-screen to a Navigation page using a List, follow these steps:

  1. Create a List and select it.

  2. Go to Screen Controls > List Items.

  3. Select a Nav Page Item to link from the current Navigation page to a new Navigation page, or select a Form Item to link from the current Navigation page to a new Form page.

  4. Configure the list item properties to specify the target screen.

  5. Click the Save button to persist your changes.

Here are some additional tips:

  • If you intend to add more than one navigational link to your static list, consider configuring the Layout Type property of your list.

  • After successfully creating a Navigation link, your next step is to configure the screen properties of the destination page based on its type.
