Using aliases makes it easier for developers of other components to use your Navigation Paths without you having to publish the entire hierarchy. You can then change the hierarchy in later versions of your component and so long as you have kept the alias the same, their code will continue to work correctly.

Qbik highly recommends that you use aliases wherever possible. This ensures that your items continue to operate correctly, even when the underlying navigation paths change. If you hardcode your items, e.g. Insert an item directly with the path NAVIGATIONTREE\ControlPanel\MyComponent, and later on ControlPanel gets renamed or moved in the hierarchy, your item will no longer insert correctly. |
