Navigator

GNUe Navigator is a helper application for Forms and Reports. It takes an XML definition of meuu items and the form or report associated with them, and turns it into a navigation form, to allow users to select and run a Form or Report.

Possible future directions for this include all or any of:

1. Extend Navigator to launch items other than Forms and Reports, possibly developing into a full GNUe Enterprise Portal.
2. Alternative navigation paradigms to simple menus.
3. Have the XML generated dynamically for each user, to provide a form of Role Based Access Control. By instituting roles, navigator would become a process flow map.
4. Have the XML generated dynamically depending on previous forms, to suggest possible or mandatory next choices. This might provide the basis for a workflow like capacity or tying to a 'real' workflow engine.
