# Navigation Component

UDesignerClassic Designer

The **Navigation component** creates a multi-page navigation experience in a single [module](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-module-builder). The Navigation component uses [Panel](/v1/docs/panel-component) components to represent different pages for end-users to navigate through an [application](/v1/docs/introduction-to-unqork-applications).

By default, the Navigation component has a variety of navigation and event buttons. These include:

- Previous and Next buttons.
- A Save Draft and Exit button.
- A Submit button.

> [!TIP]
> You can also add custom navigation buttons. To learn more, see our [Custom Navigation Buttons](/v1/docs/use-case-custom-navigation-buttons) article.

The default navigation style is navigation bubbles at the top of the page. You can also use tabs or a table of contents-style navigation.

You'll find the Navigation component in the [Display & Layout](/v1/docs/display-layout) group to the left of the [Module Builder](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-module-builder).

## Display Settings

### Field Text

| Settings | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Canvas Label Text** | The Label Text field conveys what the input component is and what information it displays. Enter the purpose of the corresponding component or field. Use user-friendly labels to make your module accessible. It's best practice to use brief and descriptive labels (one or two words). Use title case for short entries and sentence case for long entries. |

### Default State Options

| Settings | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Hide Field** | Set to ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/image(43).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T21%3A38%3A16Z&se=2026-11-06T22%3A38%3A16Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=31qmLp2kguo7vXgIB1TJWaHzx4HvrR9p%2BoaorLGp9wE%3D) (**checked**) to hide the Navigation component and all nested components in Express View. The components are always visible in the Module Builder. |

### Input Behavior

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Input Behavior** | Controls how end-users interact with the component. Choose from the following options: - **Enable User Input**: Allow end-users to view and enter data in this field. - **Disable User Input**: Prevents end-users from entering data in the field, but lets them view it. In the Module Builder, the field’s background displays as gray. In Express View, when end-users hover over the field, their cursor displays with a **prohibited** symbol. - **Read Only - Legacy**: Prevents end-users from entering data and replaces the field with the component’s data value. If no value is provided, the component displays `None`. |

#### Scroll Position on Navigation

| Settings | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Scroll Position on Navigation** | This setting controls the end-user's scroll position when navigating between pages. Options include: - **Scroll to Top**: Scrolls to the top of the application when a new page is accessed. - **Stay in Place**: Displays the new page without scrolling. The default setting is Scroll to Top. |
| **Vertical Offset** | The number of pixels to move the Navigation component down by. Use this in applications with fixed headers to prevent the Navigation component from overlapping with the header. The Vertical Offset value is in pixels. |

### Panels

The Panels table defines each page in the Navigation component. The Panel referenced in the first row of the table becomes the first page. The Panel referenced in the second row of the table becomes the second page, and so on. To improve end-user experience, use the smallest amount of pages possible.

> [!NOTE]
> The Panels referenced in this table must nest inside the Navigation component.

## Adding a Navigation Component

Let's say you want to collect information about a claim your end-user submitted. Configure a Navigation component with a two-page navigation experience. Use Panel components for each page of your module. On one page, end-users enter some basic information. On the next page, end-users enter some claim details before submitting the form.

- 1 **Navigation** component
- 2 [Panel](/v1/docs/panel-component) components
- 2 [Text Field](/v1/docs/text-field-component) components
- 1 [Date Input](/v1/docs/date-input-component) component
- 1 [Number](/v1/docs/number-component) component

## Structure of a Navigation Component's Data

The Navigation component presents as a key/value pair, where the key is the Property ID of the Navigation component, and the value is the Property ID of the Panel component displaying to the end-user. In the above example, the **navfield** **![Navigation Component Icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/navigation_teal_component.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T21%3A38%3A16Z&se=2026-11-06T22%3A38%3A16Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=31qmLp2kguo7vXgIB1TJWaHzx4HvrR9p%2BoaorLGp9wE%3D) Navigation** component is the key, and the **panelClaim** **P****anel** component is the value.

[![A static image displaying the Developer Console in Express view. The angular command reveals the Navigation component's key value pair.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/Navigation_Component_DataStructure_thumb_0_0.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T21%3A38%3A16Z&se=2026-11-06T22%3A38%3A16Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=31qmLp2kguo7vXgIB1TJWaHzx4HvrR9p%2BoaorLGp9wE%3D)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/Navigation%20Component%20DataStructure.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T21%3A38%3A16Z&se=2026-11-06T22%3A38%3A16Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=31qmLp2kguo7vXgIB1TJWaHzx4HvrR9p%2BoaorLGp9wE%3D)

The **Navigation component** creates a multi-page navigation experience in a single [module](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-module-builder). The Navigation component uses [Panel](/v1/docs/panel-component) components to represent different pages for end-users to navigate through an [application](/v1/docs/introduction-to-unqork-applications).

By default, the Navigation component has a variety of navigation and event buttons. These include:

- Previous and Next buttons.
- A Save Draft and Exit button.
- A Submit button.

> [!TIP]
> You can also add custom navigation buttons. To learn more, see our [Custom Navigation Buttons](/v1/docs/use-case-custom-navigation-buttons) article.

The default navigation style is navigation bubbles at the top of the page. You can also use tabs or a table of contents-style navigation.

You'll find the Panel component in the [Display & Layout](/v1/docs/display-layout) group to the left of the [Module Builder](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-module-builder).

#### Panels Table

The Panels table defines each page in the Navigation component. The Panel component referenced in the first row of the table becomes the first page. The Panel component referenced in the second row of the table becomes the second page, and so on. To improve user experience, use the smallest amount of pages possible.

> [!NOTE]
> The Panel components referenced in this table must nest inside the Navigation component.

## Adding a Navigation Component

Let's say you want to collect information about a claim your end-user submitted. Configure a Navigation component with a two-page navigation experience. Use Panel components for each page of your module. On one page, end-users enter some basic information. On the next page, end-users enter some claim details before submitting the form.

### Configure the Navigation Component

First, add and configure the Navigation component. This component holds two Panel components that act as pages of the application.

1. In the Module Builder, drag and drop a **![Navigation Component Icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/navigation_teal_component.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T21%3A38%3A16Z&se=2026-11-06T22%3A38%3A16Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=31qmLp2kguo7vXgIB1TJWaHzx4HvrR9p%2BoaorLGp9wE%3D) Navigation** component onto your canvas.
