Hello!  
I am new to making data apps, and I have a workflow with 5 components. When I publish it, it goes from component 1 to 2 via “Next” button, and so on. My question is, is it possible to create a menu on the left hand side that stays there (or maybe can minimize & open again), for example  
Menu:  
Page 1  
Page 2  
Page 3  
Page 4  
Page 5

and so the user can see all the options and click to whichever page they want to go to, rather than having to go through all the pages in order?

Thank you!

Hi @erikawalther,

I think this may be something along the lines of what you’re looking for:

This looks to be a usage example: [Data App Header Example – KNIME Community Hub](https://hub.knime.com/janina/spaces/Public/Data%20App%20Header%20Example~SUOtvgMtEsvBgzn0/current-state)

Kind regards

Hi, it was not quite what I wanted, but I figured out a workaround.  
I put all my components _inside_ another component, used the header just for a header, and a Single Selection Widget which has all the component’s names as options.  
The user can select the name of the component page they want to see from the single selection widget, and then the corresponding component runs and shows as the output.

Not the most elegant but does the job!

So the interactive view looks like

Ah, that is great!  
My apologies for missing the option to select the page.

Thank you for sharing the solution you built!
