The Breadcrumb child component on the Below Title component describes where in the hierarchy the object resides. A breadcrumb is also available in the 'Description Card' option on the Summary Card components, but in the event only a breadcrumb should display under the title, the Breadcrumb option is optimal. Once configured, a breadcrumb describing the hierarchy path from the current node up to the nearest node of the specified root type will display. Each breadcrumb node is clickable unless the Readonly parameter is selected.

Configuring Breadcrumb Properties
To configure display of the Breadcrumb component, follow the instructions described below.
- Access the designer on the Node Details screen mapped to the relevant Asset object type. Under 'Child Components', select the 'Breadcrumb' option from the 'Below Title' dropdown. Then click 'go to component'.

- Read Only- When checked, the elements that make up the breadcrumb navigation path will not be hyperlinked.
