IP 2014: How to set default Navigation Control in Aurora Theme

In Siebel Innovation Pack 2014, Oracle provides a default theme “AURORA”. And in most of the cases we don’t need much customization as we do in Open UI earlier versions.
For navigation controls (Menu Options), we got three below controls which can be easily changed by Users from Administration – Application -> User Prefrences -> Behavior

TAB

SIDE MENU

Side Menu Layout

TREE

TREE Explorer Layout

But we can’t ask all Users to choose their preferences (not recommended). So, we must have a option to set a default navigation control for all Users.

Set default Navigation Control as TAB:

If we remember, to enable Open UI we need to set a Server Parameter “EnableOpenUI = true”.

Same way to set default navigation control, we need to set a Server Parameter.

DefaultNavigation = NAVIGATION_TAB

Here, we can choose any of three options (NAVIGATION_TAB, NAVIGATION_SIDE, NAVIGATION_TREE).

To get this change on Local, we must add this line in CFG file as follows:

DefaultNavigation = NAVIGATION_TAB

Hope this will help someone in need.
