Navigation Groups are used to determine which buttons should appear in a dynamic progress indicator at any given time. A navigation group will contain one or more buttons, and the progress indicator will display certain groups in specific situations, depending on their settings.
The number of navigation groups to use depends on how complex the navigation structure of the application is. Simple applications may only need a single navigation group, but you can add as many as you need and set conditions to specify exactly when each should appear.
The visibility of navigation groups can be affected in two ways. You can either bind navigation groups to question groups, which means that the buttons assigned to the navigation group will always appear on the linked question group.
You can also bind the navigation group to an action, which will run on each postback. The value returned from the action expression will determine which navigation group is displayed.
In order for the action bind type to work, the expression must return a string that matches the keyword of a navigation group.
Groups in a progress indicator are managed from the Navigation Groups panel in the Progress Indicator Navigation Definition interface.
