Business Objects: Project #1

Reconcile navigation paradigms for document portals by examining the UE in InfoView, Business Objects' document portal

Web browsing and document viewing present disparate, even conflicting
navigation paradigms.  Web pages provide embedded, unstructured
navigation, while documents such as PDFs are generally viewed page by
page, with the application providing primary navigation.  These
paradigms intersect when using a document portal, in which users
navigate a website to locate and access Crystal Reports reports, PDFs,
and other documents.  We would like to better understand how users
reconcile the two models when using a document portal.  How can a portal
be structured to support both types of navigation without confusing the
user?
