Default Navigation Control

If the navigation control user preference has not been set, then the DefaultNavigation component parameter sets the default navigation control in the Web client application. The DefaultNavigation component parameter is set to NAVIGATION_SIDE by default, which means that the Side Menu navigation control is used by default in the application. You can change the DefaultNavigation component parameter setting if required as shown in the following procedure.

Note: The navigation control user preference, if set (see Navigation Controls), takes precedence over the DefaultNavigation component parameter value.
