🧭Primary Navigation

Customize your navigation

Overview

You have the ability to customize the left-hand navigation bar to fit your workflow and frequently accessed areas. This customization feature is only available when the Navigation Style is set to Default Network User Navigation and has been enabled by admins.


The navigation panel in MangoApps is designed to be flexible, giving you control over how you access key tools and features. This section outlines the various customization options available to help you tailor the navigation layout to suit your workflow.

  • Restore to Admin Defaults: Revert your navigation bar to the default layout defined by your site admin. Use this option if you want to discard customizations and return to the original settings.

  • Add a Shortcut: Add a frequently used module or link directly to your navigation panel for quicker access.

  • Apply Settings: After making changes, click Apply Settings to save and implement your updated navigation layout.

  • Manage Sub-Menus: Organize your navigation items more effectively by grouping related links under a parent menu item. This enhances clarity and reduces clutter.

  • Enable/Disable Menu Items: You can hide any menu item by disabling it. Disabled items will no longer appear on your navigation bar.

  • Admin Shortcuts: Shortcuts created by the site admin are considered Admin Shortcuts. These cannot be disabled or removed by individual users.

  • Reorder Navigation Items: Simply drag and drop the navigation items to change their order. This allows you to prioritize the items most important to you.


Creating a Sub-Menu

From the Manage Navigation screen, click +Manage Sub-Menus next to the navigation item you want to modify.

Check the boxes for the items you want to include in the sub-menu.

Click Done to save your sub-menu.


You can add a direct link to any internal or external page by creating a custom shortcut. Click on the Add Link button.

Enter a Label for the shortcut (this is the text that will appear in the navigation). Choose an Icon that visually represents the link. Then paste the URL for the page you want to link to.

Select where the link should open:

  • Current Tab – Opens the link in the current window

  • New Tab – Opens the link in a new browser tab

Click Save to finalize and add your shortcut.
