Breadcrumbs are a horizontal navigation trail displayed at the top of every page in Assure. The breadcrumb trail shows the user's current location within the system and provides clickable links to return to any previously visited page in that navigation path. Breadcrumbs are available across all Assure modules and apply to all user roles.
Navigate the System Using Breadcrumbs
What Are Breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs (a horizontal navigation trail displayed at the top of each page) allow users to track their location within Assure and navigate back to previous pages without using the browser's back button.
Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally across the top of a web page. Their purpose is to provide the user with links back to each previous page the user navigated through to reach the current page. On each page, the user will see the breadcrumbs, which the user can click to go back to the previous pages they were on.
Breadcrumb Structure
The breadcrumb trail contains up to three segments. The screenshot below illustrates a typical breadcrumb trail within an Assure record.
Each segment has a distinct function:
| Position | What It Shows | What It Does |
| 1 - Home | The Assure Home label | Returns the user to the Home page of Assure |
| 2 - Module Name | The name of the module the record belongs to | Returns the user to the List View (the main record listing screen) for that module |
| 3 - Record Reference and Page | The reference number of the record and the current page name | Indicates which record and which page the user is currently viewing or editing |

Relevant Modules and Cross-Module Implications: Breadcrumb navigation is a system-wide feature present in all Assure modules. No cross-module implications apply. The breadcrumb trail reflects the user's navigation hierarchy regardless of which module they are working in (for example, Incident, Risk Assessment, Audit, or any other module).
