Research direction

Review the existing navigation flows across the web app and read related issue #408 on menu drawer design. Define a coherent approach for moving between areas, returning to higher-level pages, and showing the current location; done means the approach is agreed across the app.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Problem

Navigation in the web app varies depending on the current page. Moving to another area of the app or returning to a higher-level page within the same area is handled differently across pages, which can be confusing and difficult to discover.

Desired outcome

Develop a unified navigation concept that makes it clear and consistent how to:

  • Move between areas of the app.
  • Return to a higher-level page within the current area.
  • Understand the current location in the app.

Review the existing flows and define a coherent approach across the web app. The specific UI design is open for discussion.

Related: #408 (menu drawer design).
