Tree structure
Modules are organized in a tree structure. Branches have the 
/
button. Modules don't have such button.
To use this tree structure:
- Click
to expand a branch. - Click
to collapse a branch.
To open a module, click its name.
If a branch only contains one module, the standard branch name will be replaced by the name of that module. Example:
Breadcrumbs
The 'breadcrumb bar' on top shows the location of the page that you have opened in the menu tree structure.
Example:
If a branch only contains one module, and got the name of that module (see the above example), the breadcrumb will still show the original branch. Example:
If an item is edited or created, the breadcrumb bar shows the name of the item. You can click the module name to return, i.e. to cancel the edit/create. Example:
In some cases, lower branches can be selected. Example:
Menu operation
