Need help with custom states with switching from page to page or to certain groups within a page

[hstockton]

I am having trouble with my system navigating.
I have multiple pages and within each page has multiple group contents depending on the menu item selected from the panel.

The image above shows my sidebar, once you click on “Sales”, the panel pops out with menu items. Once you click a menu item, that should take you to the specific group on the correct page. For instance, you click "New Quote Request, that will take you to the Sales Page and open the “New Quote Request” group in that page.

I have it working to go page to page and have the correct group open by setting up parameters. The issue I am having is being within the same page. For instance, I am within the sales page and have the “New Quote Request” group open, once I click on the “Sales” icon and choose “Quote Status” or another menu item, the panel does not disappear and the group content does not show. I have set custom states and tried different things but nothing seems to work.

Know that the sidebar with the icons is a reusable and the panel with the menu items are a separate reusable. I have custom states and properties set to connect them to the main pages.

Below is the element tree so you can see the set up of the page. DepartmentPanel = the panel that pops out.

Please help.

share a screenshot of how you are using the custom states and page parameters including the conditions attached to each groups you want displayed

This is the workflow for each menu item in the DepartmentPanel. The one screenshotted is for the “New Quote Request” menu item. All menu items look the same but different Arbitrary texts.

The conditional for the DepartmentPanel reusable on the sales page.

DepartmentPanel’s properties on the sales page.

The conditional for the content group “New Quote Request” on the sales page.

Custom states on the sales page.

Workflow #1 on the sales page.

Workflow #2 on the sales page. - last step, PanelIsOpen is set to “yes” value

Workflow #3 on the sales page.

Workflow #4 on the sales page - Page load.

I want to say I took all the screenshots. Let me know if I am missing anything.
Currently, what I have is working going between pages. BUT, it is not working while on the same page with having the DepartmentPanel disappear after choosing a menu item. When you navigate to a new page, the DepartmentPanel disappears. I know I originally said the content wasn’t showing either but I did fix that. This is my current issue, having the DepartmentPanel disappear while switching between groups within the same page.
