Links

One of the actions that can trigger opening a new tab or new section is selecting a link to a UIM page. There are many different ways in the Cúram application to open a UIM page and many different contexts in which a UIM can be displayed.

A UIM page can be displayed in the following areas of an application:

• A content area
• A tab context panel
• A tab smart panel
• A modal dialog
• A list dropdown panel

A UIM page in any of these contexts can define links to another UIM page. There are different types of links:

• Page level actions menu (content area only)
• Modal button bar (modal dialog only)
• Buttons
• Hyperlinked text
• List actions menu

In addition to links on a UIM page, a UIM page can be opened via the following actions:

• Selecting an entry in the tab actions menu
• Selecting a link in the section shortcut panel
• Selecting a navigation bar tab
• Selecting a page group navigation bar entry

For more information on all the different types of action controls that can be defined in a UIM page, consult UIM Reference. For the purposes of this section, selecting a link will apply to any action that can open a new UIM page.
