General information
- View pages can be grouped into categories to improve clarity and navigation. Categories typically group view pages with the same or similar focus and help organize the application structure.
- Categories are defined within individual applications. In the navigation area, they are displayed at the same level as view pages that are placed directly in the application, i.e. at the same level as view pages that are not assigned to any category.
- Categories are always displayed before individual view pages in the navigation area. This behavior follows the common directory structure principle known from file systems, where folders are displayed before files.
