6.10. Using navigators

A database navigator allows the user to easily access views, Domino data, or other applications. It is like a roadmap that guides the user through the application using a graphical interface. Most navigators include graphic buttons or hotspots, which are programmed areas a user clicks to execute an action. A hotspot can be text, graphics, or a combination thereof. Refer to Figure 6-2 on page 186 for an example of a navigator.
