Structuring complex information on a single page
I am repeatedly running into the same issue in many ways and wondering if anyone has some clever ideas.
Our company has a lot of complexity. For example, we have employees in 38 countries and often information varies by which region or country you're in—everything from HR info to holidays to which travel desk to use to how to order a mobile phone.
I'm looking for ways to structure information on a SINGLE page where I can drill down into the exact information I want when I need to make at least two levels of selection.
For example, instead of providing a list of 38 countries, I'd like people to select one of four or five regions, then pick a country.
Can this be done in Igloo? I've gotten through the first level of that complexity with a combination of tabs (usually vertical) and multi-tab-group and wiki entries, but I don't seem to be able to crack the code beyond that.

Ryan Stevens, the above question is sort of in keeping with our recent discussion about which enhancements BMC has added their name to. In general, I'm looking for mechanisms that will allow me to structure information that has more than a single layer of complexity.

Wow, what a challenge. Do you have "Accordions" as one of your custom styling options for widgets? I haven't done anything like what you're talking about, but that's the first place my mind goes when thinking about how to hide and reveal information.
