Description

Navigation allows users to move between pages in the selected application.

Top navigation should be used:

by default, if the menu options fit.
when there are only 2 levels in the menu hierarchy.
when there are 7 or fewer menu items at each level.

Otherwise, use Left Navigation Mode.

Structure

Top navigation can have 1 or 2 levels.
Each level can include up to 7 items.
1st level item labels may wrap onto 2 lines.
2nd level item labels can only be presented on one line.
A grey line separates 1st and 2nd level navigation.
A blue line is shown underneath the selected item(s).

Placement and positioning

Top navigation is shown in the header bar, at the top of the page.
It always extends across the full width of the page.

Default state

By default, the first item will be selected, unless otherwise configured by the user. Where there is more than one level, the first item at each level will be selected.

States

State	1st level navigation	2nd level navigation	Comment
Regular
Hover
Active

Focused
Focused, Hover
Focused, Active
Focused, Selected

Internal logic

Only one item at a time can be selected from each level.
When a 1st level item is selected, the 2nd level items should be updated appropriately.
Menu items should be shown in a logical order, with the most commonly used first.
The width of each item should be responsive to the item label, up to a maximum of x characters. Item widths may be greater where there are fewer than 7 items in a level.
Truncation should be avoided, where possible, by using short labels.
2nd level navigation should only be shown where relevant. Otherwise, the area beneath the line will remain empty.
No horizontal scroll can be used within top navigation.

Interactions

ADD IMAGES

On selecting an item from the menu, the user will be redirected to the relevant page.
The current selection is shown for 1st and 2nd level navigation at all times, using a blue line underneath the item(s).
Selecting a 1st level item will also automatically select the first 2nd level item, if one exists.
On hover, a lighter blue underline will be shown underneath the hovered item.

Expand-Collapse behavior

Description

The header bar can be collapsed by the user to allow for more vertical space.
When collapsed, the 2nd level navigation options are shown only on hover.

Note: This applies only to top navigation. The header bar will not collapse when using left navigation.

Structure

When collapsed:

the suite name and the 2nd level of navigation will be hidden.
the user profile image will reduce in size.

States

Collapsed On Hover

Default state

On first opening, the top should be expanded.

Interactions

When the header bar is expanded:

on hover, a collapse icon button will appear below the product area.
Clicking the collapse icon button will collapse the header bar.

When the header bar is collapsed:

On hover:
the expanded top will be shown automatically, revealing the 2nd level navigation and suite name and an expand icon button will appear below the product area.
On removing hover the top will collapse again automatically.
Clicking the expand icon button will pin the header bar open.

Transitions

The header bar should expand/collapse with a transition effect.

Accessibility Compliance

Focus management

Tab Index order

The tab index flow will follow this order. Shift + Tab will follow the reverse order.
