In addition to all the features outlined in the Demos & Examples section of this site, the IxF supports a number of general functions that are essential to almost any application.
The IxF allows for both a full screen app (like what you see here) and a smaller, fixed app frame for smaller types of apps (like simple registration screens, etc.).
Seen as a dropdown where it says “Interaction Framework” at the top of this page, this menu is used for quickly switching between different apps that are part of the same suite. This falls into the philosophy breaking large apps into smaller apps and grouping them as part of a suite instead. It should not be the only way to switch between related apps but should complement another page/site that does the same thing.
Seen as a “Messages” and "My Options" menus at the top right of the screen, this area can be used for global app tools like setting preferences, signing out, global notifications, global search (via a dropdown) etc.
A scalable navigation scheme is built on a PHP framework that helps quickly develop prototypes. Based on the navigation init file in the KickStart project, an IxF project can have no menu or first and second level navigation as needed. If localization creates a longer menu than expected, the top level menu is built to wrap without breaking the layout.
