Description

Navigation Normal flow navigation is meant to help guide the user go through a form or application in the intented manner or in the easiest way. When there is no set way, it should be easy and supporting as well and to an application along a predefined route. However, when no such predefined path exists, they system should support the user in navigating the application, keeping track of the path they have travelled and current status in the application as well. To help achive this we have know introduced the FreeFlow navigation.

By applying specific construcs of Flows, pages and containers the FreeFlow mechanisme can be applying applied using the building blocks we all already know. An adaptation in the validation engine of the Blueriq Runtime helps the user to be able to navigate freely, while being attented to validation messages on pages, that can be solved along the way as whenever the user want to or is able to. After which the whole flow can be completed.

...

1. There are two specific flowtypes that have to be used to use this type of navigation and to use the validation engine differently
2. We created a new navigation menu that which is a specific container implementation, that works in conjunction with the new flow types and the validation engine
3. The validation engine handles all validation rules as non-blocking when use FreeFlow. Validations on read-only fields or attributes will be executed by the validation engine.

The new flow typs and the new containertype can be found in the Blueriq Basic Modelling Library. The validation has been changed but only internally, so no specific installment of configuration has to done whether you want to use the FreeFlow or not.
