Global Navigation
NV9000-SE Utilities supports what are known as “global navigation” pages for NV9642

control
panels. Global navigation pages are templates — patterns — that may be used and reused in the
creation of NV9640 configurations.
There are two types of global navigation pages: ‘Suffix’ and ‘Navigate’. A navigate template may
define a single button page or an entire subtree of pages. A suffix template is a single page only.
The buttons allowed in a suffix template are a small subset of the buttons supported by NV9642
configurations. Navigate templates support all functions except ‘Global Navigate’. That is
because templates cannot be nested.
Templates themselves are not NV9642 configurations.
Follow these steps to create either type:
1 Choose ‘Control Panels’ from the ‘Configuration’ pane. Then click ‘Add Control Panel’.
2 In the ‘Add Control Panel’ page, complete the details as you would for a panel: The panel
type is NV9642. Specify a panel ID, a name, and choose ‘New’ in the options section.
3 Rather than click the ‘Next’ or ‘Finish’ button, click the ‘Suffix’ or ‘Navigate’ button. Doing so
creates a global navigation page of the appropriate type.
Using a suffix page is different from using a navigation page.
Names
After adding global navigation templates to your N9000 configuration, you will see them identi-
fied as such in the control panel list:
The words “Navigate” and “Suffix” appear in the ‘Panel Type’ and ‘Configuration Name’ columns.
1. NV9000-SE Utilities also supports global navigate templates for the NV9640 and NV9641.
