Local navigation is optional in Edge.One. Simple applications do not require it. Use the Navigation Boardlet Nnavigation boardlet only when a dashboard needs local navigation (e.g., nodes, dependencies, favorites, sub-dashboards). Keep it off simple dashboards to preserve focus.
Default to Collapsed collapsed on content-dense dashboards; expand on demand when navigation is the user’s next likely step.
In Extendedextended, use at most three assets (Link, Node, Card, Conflict) at once to avoid vertical crowding and nested scroll traps.
...
Prefer no internal scrolling. If content overflows, switch to the Extended extended state or split into multiple assets/tabs.
...
- The content must be visible simultaneously (e.g., long Node List in Extendedextended).
- The boardlet provides essential footer/actions tied to the list (e.g., batch selection).
- The overflow occurs only on rarely used small screens.
Use independent scroll scrolling for each asset and never create horizontal scrolling.
