Overview

Portal Navigation is the top bar of options. It displays modules that have been enabled for the portal.

Breadcrumbs is the display of the path or trail separated by the > at the top of the Articles, Browse, and Solution Finder pages.

Both are meant to be of help to users during portal browsing sessions.

Their content changes depending upon the context of the user. For example, if the user is viewing an article after performing a search, the breadcrumbs display includes the user's search term. Clicking on the search term will return the user to the search results page for that term.
