Sidebar Navigation
On some pages you will find that in addition to the main navigation bar there will be a sticky navigation menu (very similar to the menu
in this manual on the right hand side). This sidebar menu changes depending on the context and helps you quickly to jump between different
parts of page. We decided on using this as opposed to multiple pages because it's quicker and allows us to present more information together
especially when that information is related (e.g. student profile contains contact info, courses, programs, financial transactions etc...).
Table Navigation
Toolbar
When tables are used they have a toolbar associated with them attached at the top. From this toolbar you can:
- See the current records being viewed and the total number of records available.
- Perform a search on the table.
- Filter table results.
- Select table columns.
- Create bookmarks of the current table settings.
- Export table results as a PDF / CSV document.
- Perform actions independent of the table (e.g. Add New Element) or perform actions on selected elements in the table (e.g. Delete).
Caption
The caption of the table will contain the table name and list any filters / search terms which have been applied.
Headings
- You can sort tables by clicking on a heading. This will sort the table by the field associated with that heading. Clicking it again will sort
it the opposite way (i.e. Ascending/Descending).
- If the table rows are selectable, clicking on the checkbox in the header will check all current elements.
