Navigation structure

Navigation in GraFx Experience is defined by the pages and folders you create and the order in which you place them. As an admin, you control the hierarchy, grouping, labels, and visibility of navigation items to match your audience and use cases.

The main navigation is the primary horizontal menu users see at the top of the portal on desktop or equivalent primary navigation on mobile.

As an admin you decide:

  • Which top-level pages appear here
  • The order of navigation items
  • Labels that are shown to users
  • Whether certain pages are omitted from the navigation

Keep the main navigation focused — too many items make it harder for users to find what they need.

Sub-menus are created by placing pages inside folders in the page tree.

  • Folders group related pages and create a second (or deeper) level of navigation
  • Pages inside a folder appear in a dropdown or sub-menu under the folder’s label
  • You can nest folders up to configured levels to create up to three navigation tiers

Navigation depth and labels should reflect logical groupings so users navigate intuitively.

Page vs navigation name

Each page has:

  • A Title — internal admin label shown in the page tree
  • A Navigation name — label shown in menus

Navigation names can differ from titles. Use clear, short navigation names to improve usability when screens have limited space.

Visibility control

Admins can control visibility by page or folder:

  • Enabled / Disabled — A disabled item does not appear in navigation or in direct links
  • Hide from navigation — Page exists and is accessible by link but does not show in menus

Use visibility settings to control access paths and reduce clutter.

Space-specific navigation

If you use multiple spaces or environments:

  • Each space has its own navigation structure
  • Pages and menus can differ per space
  • Similar pages can have different navigation names in different spaces

Spaces let you tailor navigation to teams, regions, or business units.

Best practices

  • Limit top-level items to essential categories
  • Use folders to group related pages logically
  • Use clear, short navigation names that match user expectations
  • Control visibility to simplify menus for each user group
  • Review navigation with actual end users for clarity

Navigation is not fixed by the system — it is created by you through page order, folders, labels, and visibility settings. Done deliberately, it guides users to the right content quickly and consistently.
