Navigate

The Navigate Task in Vahana vFlow 2.0 enables seamless page or view transitions within the application. This task facilitates user movement between different screens, modules, or sections of the application, making it integral to creating dynamic and user-friendly navigation flows. By configuring navigation actions, you can guide users through a logical workflow, enhance the user experience, and simplify complex interactions.

You can configure the API to achieve the following:

• Store Data: Retrieve data from the front-end application and save it to the server.
• Display Data: Fetch data from the server and display it in the front-end application.
• Navigation: Facilitate seamless navigation across multiple application pages.
• Data Deletion: Remove data from storage when necessary.
• Data Update: Modify existing data on the server.
• Behavior Customization: Implement specific behaviors or interactions within the application.

Common Uses:

1. Navigating Between Application Pages:
   • For example, in a banking application, the user can navigate from the login page to the account dashboard after successful authentication.
2. Redirecting Based on User Actions:
   • Trigger a navigation task upon form submission to take users to a confirmation page, or redirect based on specific user roles and permissions.

Configuration

When you create a task, its configuration page opens in which you define its basic and advanced properties. These are as follows:
