- Summary
- The breadcrumb appears at the top of every page -- except Home --within within the body area of the page, above the page title. Each page from Home to the page a user is on is included in the breadcrumb. All previous pages are hyperlinks. The current page is in the breadcrumb, and it is not hyperlinked.
- Breadcrumbs appear in Source Sans 13 pt; hyperlinked items are underlined and Dark Orange (#BB6E24); non-hyperlinked items are in Dark Green (#615A36).

- Problem (business, user, technical)
- Users need a way to understand where they are in the hierarchy of information provided by the system. In the case of RAFT, the parent-child relationships can be quite complex.
- Solution
- Breadcrumbs indicate to users where they are within the hierarchy. This is especially useful in cases where they have used the search or the favorites to access worksets or cost objects.
