Custom Functionality in Navbar

Hello, 

Is there any way to add a dynamically generated dropdown inside of the Appian navigation bar? 

For example, I have a database table filled with a value that I would like to

1. Create a dropdown record for each value

2. When selected, open up an interface with that value passed into it as a rule input


Thank you, 

Nicholas

    OK. Then the answer is ... no.

    But you could make the site layout show the bar on top, and add your own side-bar with whatever content you want.

    Your question is not so clear to understand. What is the requirement?

    Hi Konduru, 

    The requirement is that I have a database table with name, value pairs.

    The name will be what what is displayed in the dropdown, and the value is what will be passed into the interface as a rule input.

    I would like to do an a!forEach on the data from the datasubset that is generated when querying that table. 

    For each record in that datasubset, I would like to create a dropdown entry.

    When you click on that entry, I would like the user to be navigated to a page where that value is passed into the page as a rule input. 

    Here is a screenshot of exactly where I would like this dropdown placed. 

    Please let me know if I can clarify, thank you!

    No, a dropdown from the Database values cannot be added in the navigation bar would be the simple answer. But have you tried creating a group in the site and adding pages to it? it would look like a drop down.
