How Do I Find the Navigation lists

 Finding the Navigation Lists in Oracle APEX

In Oracle APEX, the Navigation Bar and Navigation Menu are based on Lists. These lists define the structure and links for navigation throughout the application. To locate and manage these navigation lists, follow the steps below.

1. Accessing Navigation Lists in Shared Components

The navigation components (Navigation Menu and Navigation Bar) are stored as Lists in the Shared Components section.

Steps to Find Navigation Lists:

1. Open Your Application

• From the APEX Workspace Home Page, navigate to App Builder.

• Select the application where you want to find the navigation lists.

2. Go to Shared Components

• On the Application Home Page, click Shared Components.

3. Locate the Lists Section

• Under Navigation and Lists, click Lists.

• This will display all custom lists, including those used for Navigation Menu and Navigation Bar.

4. Identify the Navigation Lists

• The Navigation Menu is usually linked to a Tree List or a standard List.

• The Navigation Bar is typically a separate List.

• You can click on each list to review or modify its contents.

2. Finding the Navigation Menu List

To determine which List is used for the Navigation Menu:

1. Go to Shared Components > User Interface > Navigation Menu

2. Check the "Navigation Menu Type" setting: 

• If set to List, it will reference a specific List Name.

• Click the List Name to view or modify its items.

3. Modify List Entries as needed (add, remove, or reorder menu items).

3. Finding the Navigation Bar List

To locate the Navigation Bar list:

1. Go to Shared Components > Lists.

2. Look for a list named Navigation Bar (or a custom-named equivalent).

3. Click on the list to view the Navigation Bar entries, such as: 

• Login/Logout Links

• User Profile Links

• Custom Action Links

4. Finding Breadcrumbs (Optional)

Breadcrumb navigation is not automatically included but can be added later. To find or manage breadcrumbs:

1. Go to Shared Components > Navigation and Lists > Breadcrumbs.

2. Click on the Breadcrumbs Name to edit or configure breadcrumb behavior.

The Navigation Menu, Navigation Bar, and Breadcrumbs in Oracle APEX are all powered by Lists, which can be found under Shared Components > Lists. By managing these lists, developers can customize navigation elements, ensuring a structured and intuitive user experience.
