Invisible
. This is a special one: all navigation points that are part of Invisible
are points that will not be visible in a manu on the page, but may provide specific URLs (hostname of portal + path to specific flow). These URLs can be used to directly access a specific flowchart in the WEM application from the outside (bypassing the standard home-starting point). For example by providing a link in an email message. A specific often-used example is the Reset Password option: you create a URL that is very specific, you can't access the functionality via the application directly, but through the URL you could access the password reset functionality of the application (for example via link in email). This feature can be seen in the Quick Starter Project Basic Authentication v2020
, in MyWEM.Name
property is used to display the label of the menu item.false
, the navigation point is not visible and its flowchart not accessible by its URL path. This is often used to give access based on a specific user role or set of user roles. But any other reason can be used to prevent access, as long as you can specify it in the expression editor.
For security reasons, this field is required: you have to consciously set the Visible When expression! Plainly setting the expression to true
makes the item always available - so you can use that if you are sure that this item does not need specific rules to be available - just as long as this choice is consciously made. Deeplink
: The navigation point navigates towards a flowchart that will be executed after clicked on menu item. This action should be a stand-alone flow ending in an Interaction Node without an End Node (or a navigation node navigating to a different flow). Subroutine
: This can be used to call flowcharts as a subroutine, to return to the same point when this item was clicked. The flowchart to be executed must end with an End Node, so that when flow reaches the End Node it can return to the point from where the Subroutine was started.Hyperlink
: Allows you specify a URL you want this navigation point to use. This is usually an external URL pointing to another webpage.None
: No action will be executed and this option allows you to create deeper level menu items (submenu). None
creates a placeholder in the application menu that can expand and collapse to show/hide submenu items. After creation of this item, you can create new navigation points as sub-items in this item, that will be available if this item is clicked to expand the sub-menu.Action

. The specified path is added to the base hostname of the portal and can be used to get direct access to this navigation point through your browser.Move
allows you to move a navigation point to another menu;Delete

Your navigation point, this is updated project wide. uid
and action
. Both have values associated with the specific parameter. The flowchart associated with the navigation point "queryparam" gets direct access to these variables and their values through the data-field-mapping you define. To make a parameter available to a navigation point, select the navigation point and click on Edit query parameters
. You now get a form where you can manage the parameters for this navigation point:Add
