Area Page

The first item in each Navigation pane category is a link to the Area Page for that category. The Area Page displays links that allow the user to navigate to various windows and reports that are part of the category.

Area Page command

A command is used to define the Area Page content for a Navigation pane category. Typically, you will add the command for the Area Page to the same command form that you are using for the other commands in your integration. Refer to Commands for more information about commands for an integrating application.

The command used for the Area Page should have the following characteristics:

Image Type   This should be set to Icon.

Normal Image   This should be set to AreaPage.
