From the Home Feed, the system's left-side menu can be edited and modified according to the changing needs of the organization. Admins in the system may customize, for all users, a unique display menu with relevant icons.
Different categories can be created with relevant associations and sub-topics that will help the user be exposed to the work groups and/or information details in a pre-defined order, thus connecting them to the organizational work processes in a more visual way.
The use of categories makes it possible to gather workgroups or information, which are associated with a larger process in the organization, under one roof. The different categories will have an arrow that can be opened and closed on the left side, so you can get a clear and schematic picture of the processes that are related to each other.
See the red box around the arrows that symbolize the categories:
In order to configure the display options according to the required needs of your organization, the following steps must be taken:
Go to the Admin Settings in the options menu on the right, on top of the user icon (or in the left menu of the Home Feed, select Admin)
Select Navigation
Create a category or new menu item by clicking NEW MENU ITEM
At this point, you can create your own category and/or menu item. It should be noted that, by default, clicking on NEW MENU ITEM will display a base category called "Main". You should leave this option selected when you want to create an individual menu item, i.e., a group, item, or external link that does not respond to any other category or, in other words, belongs to the same category as the traditionally known options: Favorites, My Profile, Organizational Chart, etc.
