Definition
A breadcrumb should provide a trail for useres navigatin within a page structure. Especially to return to pages where they have been before. Users sometimes do not have in mind how to navigate to a certain page via the application menu. For applications - where items can be changed - there is no way back in time. Once an item has been changed it would not make sense to return to a previous view. If so, the user needs to know the difference between 'back' and 'undo'.
 
PubMan should provide a breadcrumb only for item lists, view item version, item details.
 
Why a breadcrumb makes no sense for the following functionality:
 
All other pages are either confusing or inconsistent, because:
 
'''Simple Search'''
*Anyway provided persistently inside header
*Not clear where breadcrumb leads to (revise search via advanced search?)
 
'''Advanced Search'''
*Anyway provided persistently inside header
 
'''Organisation Search'''
*Anyway provided persistently inside header
 
'''Export'''
*Will mostly appar at the end of the breadcrumb
*Autoamtically available after any search
