Completed migration of the breadcrumb region to the Global Page
Effectively, you have moved the management of the breadcrumb region to the Global Page. Any settings changes
to that region done on the Global Page are seen on all pages of the application without requiring any additional work.
Breadcrumb Entries
As additional pages are added to the application, the page-creation wizard prompts for optional breadcrumb settings.
If they weren't set at the time the page was created or they need to be modified from their existing settings, you can
modify the data that drives the breadcrumbs in the Shared Components section of the application.
It's possible to have several breadcrumbs in one application. A default breadcrumb with the name Breadcrumb is
created as part of the APEX Create Application Wizard. This is the name of the grouping of breadcrumb entries.
APEX provides some utilities to see where breadcrumbs are used and easy methods of editing entries.
To see the breadcrumb groups created, navigate to the Shared Components section and click the Breadcrumbs
option in the Navigation section. Figure
5-47
shows the main screen for listing the different breadcrumb groups.
Figure 5-47.
Breadcrumb groups available in the application
Clicking the group name displays the detailed entries in that group, as shown in Figure
5-48
. The entries can be
modified independently here. As an application becomes larger, you may need to arrange the entries into different
breadcrumb groups.
