You need to design the navigation for the timeline.
What navigation should you use?
A. hierarchy
B. peer
C. hub
D. master/details
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
From scenario:
Each item in the past must be linked to the next item in the future.
Users must be able to scroll from past events to future events or from future events to past events. The app must only allow one level of detail to be linked to each item in the timeline.
Here we can use a hierarchy with each parent node having only one single child node.
Hierarchical structures are good for organizing complex content that spans lots of pages or when pages should be viewed in a particular order. The downside is that hierarchical pages introduce some navigation overhead: the deeper the structure, the more clicks it takes for users to get from page to page.
We recommend a hiearchical structure when:
You expect the user to traverse the pages in a specific order. Arrange the hierarchy to enforce that order. There is a clear parent-child relationship between one of the pages and the other pages in the group. There are more than 7 pages in the group.
When there are more than 7 pages in the group, it might be difficult for users to understand how the pages are unique or to understand their current location within the group. If you don’t think that’s an issue for your app, go ahead and make the pages peers
