Virtual Navigations

Updated: September 11, 2020

The Virtual Navigations menu entry enables you to define new browsing trees based on document properties. You can install the Nuxeo Virtual Navigation add-on to see how default virtual navigations based on the vocabularies Subject and Coverage work. This page explains the different options available on the Nuxeo Studio configuration screens.

A virtual navigation is a content view whose filter is not displayed as a form but as a tree that shows the values of a vocabulary.
