get out of long deep links

[hose-trade-9]

I have an app where navigating brings mobile users very deep into the app causing the back button to become basically useless, as it takes 5-10 taps to get back to "home"

the quick solution is to make this home view a primary navigation button, which is visible in the bottom bar almost all the time. I don't like that solution as it takes up vertical real estate.

It seems like "linktoview" does something different than tapping a primary navigation. linktoview goes deeper into the app (adding one more screen I have to back out of), a primary nav will take me directly to a view and remove any deep linking that was present. is there a way - without using a primary nav button- to send a user back to a certain view and "reset" the deep linking so that the main menu is easier to access?

Not sure if this solution is doable for you but you can control the display of views by Show-if setting.

In your case you might want to use CONTEXT("View") = "The deep view name" to show it in the primary view bar only when the user is at that deep level view (you can of course add more conditions and if you want to show it in the side bar then you can create another view to do so...)
