Navigation functions enable you to define simple ways for end users to navigate within the mobile platform, for example, navigating to a record from a field on another record.

1. In Studio, navigate to Mobile Studio > Functions > Navigation.
2. Click the pop-out icon ().
3. In the Navigations list, click Create a new navigation.
4. In the Properties section, in the Name field, type a name for the navigation.
   Because you can reuse navigations, use a name that you can easily identify.
5. In the Description field, provide a description for your navigation function.
6. In the Destination Type field, select whether you are navigating to an applet or applet launcher.
7. In the Destination field, select the applet or applet launcher you want to navigate to.

   Depending on the destination screen selected in your Destination field, you might need to include parameter settings.

8. In the Context field, select whether the action should be available for a specific or global context. For an applet launcher, select Global.
9. Set the Available Offline option to determine whether the navigation function is available offline.
   The applet and the application containing the navigation function must be marked as available offline for the navigation function to work offline. For more information on offline mode, see Mobile offline mode for Agent.
10. If you added a destination applet that has a parameterized data item, in the Parameter Setting section, update the redirection parameter fields.
    1. Click the value in the parameter name field.
    2. Complete the parameter settings.
       Note that some of the fields vary depending on the value you select for the Type field.

       Table 1. Redirection parameter form

       Field	Description
       Destination UI parameter	The name of the parameter you created for the data item. If the parameter Type value is User Input, use a user-friendly name.
       Type	Source of information for the parameter. The available options are: Field: The parameter gets the information from a field on a table. Constant: The parameter uses a constant value. Source UI parameter
       Source field	Source for the parameter. This field appears only if Field is the redirection parameter type. The table defined in the data item determines the available fields.
       Constant value	Value to appear for the data item parameter. This field appears only if Constant is the redirection parameter type.
       Source UI parameter	UI parameter for the source screen. This field appears only if Source UI Parameter is the redirection parameter Type value.

    3. Click Save.
11. In the Advanced Configurations section, determine the display conditions and the roles required for the navigation function.
    For example, you could define a different function or action for the same button according to user roles.
    1. Select a table in the Display Conditions section.
    2. In the condition builder, select filter conditions to limit when the navigation function is available.
       For example, if you want users to be able to navigate to a problem from an incident form, you can configure the navigation function to appear only when the problem field has a value.
    3. Add the roles that can use the navigation function to the Select Roles section in the Roles Permission section.
12. Click Save.
