Abstract
The invention provides customizable branch navigational area control. Navigational area branches are displayed on a device. Expansion of the navigational area branches is controlled. Selection is accepted for particular navigational area branches. The selected particular navigational area branches are prevented from collapsing upon exceeding a predetermined maximum number limit, by collapsing other navigational area branches to maintain the predetermined maximum number limit. The predetermined maximum number limit represents a limit of navigational area branches allowed to remain in an expanded state.
