How to Use Navigation History

Procedure

Navigation history records the locations you have visited previously in the EHANDBOOK container. It is similar to the history feature available in a web browser. It records locations containing interactive models and documentation in their respective editors. The number of entries in the history is limited to 50, after which the last entry would be cleared out. Navigation buttons allow you to navigate back and forth within the navigation history.

The system records navigation history in the following scenarios:

  • For the Document Viewer:

    • Clicking on entries in the TOC.

    • Show Documentation from Model Viewer.

    • through the Label popup.

    • through the Bookmarks.

    • through the Clickpick.

    • Opening a search hit from Global search.

  • For the Model Viewer:

    • Opening an interactive model.

    • Opening a function overview.

    • Navigating in or out.

    • While using the Model Explorer.

    • While using the breadcrumb bar.

The system clears the existing navigation history in the following scenarios:

  • For the Document Viewer:

    • When the Document Viewer is closed.

  • For the Model Viewer:

    • When the Model Viewer is closed.

    • When an open location is used.

    • When a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is entered through the breadcrumb bar.

    • When a function is added/removed/edited from a function overview.
