Breadcrumbs

Purpose

Users need to understand their current location and navigate within a hierarchical navigation scheme.

Description

Breadcrumbs display the current path to a particular page relative to the starting point. Breadcrumbs provide a means for users to understand their current context in a hierarchical structure and the ability to navigate up the structure easily.

  • Breadcrumbs display the current path as links separated by carets to indicate each level.
  • The navigation root is the first element, the current location is the last element
  • The current location is not clickable.
  • Clicking on a link takes you to that screen.

Depending on the version of cms, the breadcrumbs are system default.
