Enabling the side navigation menu

You can move the action items in the toolbar to a navigation menu on the side of the screen, which makes the items more visible and easier to access. On the Start Center, the side navigation menu includes the menu items from the Go To menu.

About this task

Users can enable the side navigation menu by selecting an option in their profile's Default Information dialog box. Administrators can also enable the side navigation menu for users or security groups, but the choice that the user makes overrides the choice of the administrator. If a user is a member of multiple security groups and the side navigation menu is enabled for any one of those groups, the user sees the side navigation menu.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the mxe.webclient.systemNavBar system property is set to 1.
  2. Turn on the side navigation menu:
