    openBIS version 20.10.5 provides a new database navigation in the admin
    UI, as shown below.

    This allows to navigate the openBIS hierarchy of *Spaces, Projects,
    Experiments/Collections, Objects, Datasets*.
    
    The same navigation menu will be used in the ELN UI in an upcoming
    openBIS version.
    
     
    
    ## Features
    
     
    
    ### Filter
    
    It is possible to filter the menu by code or name of the desired entity.

    ### Navigation
    
    To navigate the menu, the nodes have to be opened individually.
    
    When you select an entry in the node, the corresponding entry page
    opens. Please note that at this stage, this is only intended as a
    preview for the navigation menu and the forms show the information  of
    the entity in json format.
    
    If you open several entry pages and you switch between them, by default
    the navigation menu will scroll up or down to the corresponding entry in
    the menu. If you do not want to have this behaviour, you can turn off
    the scrolling by selecting the button on the top right corner of the
    menu, as show in the picture below.

    ### Sorting
    
    Each level of the hierarchy except for *Spaces* (*Projects, Collections,
    Objects, Datasets*) can be sorted separately, using the buttons shown in
    the pictures below.
    
    By default, the sorting is done by **Code** in alphabetical order. Other
    options are: sorting by code in reverse alphabetical order; sorting by
    ascending date; sorting by descending date.
