We have developed a navigation method for secondary navigation, in which the levels of navigation pop out to expand up and down: the menu expands downward and stays expanded until manually closed. This functionality replaces the default flyout animation that expands to the side and only stays open as long as a mouse cursor is hovering over the menu.
Accordion menus provide improved accessibility by requiring less tracking to navigate as the menus will stay open until intentionally closed. For instance, individuals with dexterity disabilities may find it difficult to maintain the mouse cursor over the default fly-out menu, but won't have that difficulty with accordion menus.
Important Note:
There is a small charge associated with this feature: the additional fee covers time spent styling the menu and enabling the feature. Please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information. If you are not sure who your Customer Success Manager is, please contact Support.
