New Sub Navigation Widget

To achieve the best possible user experience within a dashboard, it is sometimes helpful to add an inline navigation. This navigation could be used as a top level filter for the dashboard (E.g. regions, sub-brands or stores) or as a customized main navigation to other dashboards.

The new Sub Navigation widget allows exactly that. It can be configured to contain items that link to any dashboard using predefined parameters, or even just to a plain URL. Items can be displayed as text or an image (or both) and can be aligned and spaced in any direction.

Navigation items also detect when they are active (the item’s link matches the current URL including parameters) and are marked accordingly. This works even when a navigation item links to another dashboard that also contains a sub navigation widget.
