9.1 Menu Navigation Procedure Drop-down menu navigation is an intuitive way of accessing data in the 9.1 database. Drop-down navigation consists of a hierarchy of cascading folders or menu choices when a cursor points (placing a cursor over an item without clicking the mouse button) over a menu choice. Menu Items with additional choices have an icon next to it that looks like a folder. Pages or Screen Components are shown in the menu with a icon next to it that looks like a sheet of paper. 1. Navigating on the Drop-down menu by Pointing To begin accessing items within the system you must first click Main Menu as shown in the example above. To use cascading menus, point the mouse cursor (without clicking the mouse) to a Menu Item name. In this example the mouse was pointed to Workforce Administration which opened the next set of selections and then pointed again to Job Information which opened a third cascading set of menu selections. At this point the Job Data screen component was clicked on with the mouse and Job Data search panel opened. Page 11

Click the Job Data menu. 6. The Job Data Search Panel displays. As you navigate, your navigation path appears across the top of the page (also known as breadcrumbs) to inform you of your location. You can use the drop-down navigation menu from any of these points by clicking on the item name. 7. Sorting the Menu Users now have the option of clicking sort menu (the double black arrows) to rearrange the Main Menu options in alphabetical order. The first click of the double black arrows will sort the items in A -Z order, the second click in Z A order, and the third click return the items to the original sort order. Page 12
8. Click the Sort Menu button. 9. The Menu now displays in alphabetical order. Users can return to the original menu sort at anytime by clicking the sort menu button again. 10. Navigating on the Drop-down menu by Clicking Menu Items If you click on a menu item instead of pointing, it will take you to a page where you can continue to click and choose items versus using the pointing/cascading menu method.

Menu Search Procedure In this topic you will learn how to use Menu Search. 1. If the Type Ahead feature is active, as you type in various prompt or lookup fields, you might see suggestions in the list below the search field. These suggestions help you narrow the search. Type Ahead uses the text entered and searches for suggestions from the list of content references available from the portal registry. 2. Type Ahead is configurable through the My Personalizations page, Navigation Personalizations page, and appears on search pages and in prompt dialog boxes as shown here. Page 15
3. The portal Search Menu can be used to search for specific components in the system. The system returns a list of target content references only (no folders) that you are authorized to view. If the Type Ahead feature is not active, you can search for additional information by clicking the Start your search button. 4. The results will display in the Search page. 5.
