Navigation fields
Horizontal and vertical navigation fields enable users to navigate to screens quickly and easily. A horizontal navigation field might enable users to move from application to application, and a vertical navigation field might give users access to common functions and application entry points within an application.

- The vertical navigation has the tabs (Help Desk > Problem > Asset [and Change], Expense Report, Time Card, Human Resources).
- The horizontal navigation has the menus (Your Open Items, All of Your Tickets, Your Group’s Open Tickets). Horizontal navigation fields can have only one level in their structure. Vertical navigation fields can have unlimited levels. But to keep the navigation of your application simple, limit the number of levels to three.
