The Central Administration page in action
How It Works
Navigation Lists provide an easy way to setup a bunch of links that can be displayed as is (as shown in
this recipe), or even hosted within a drop-down menu.
There is actually a side-benefit to setting up navigation lists. Once it is set up, it can be reused many
times in an application. This can lead to easier maintenance of your application in the future. For
instance, when a link is to be dropped, you don't have to go through every place in your application
looking to delete that link. You could just remove it from the navigation list, and all areas that use the
navigation list will be instantly updated.
