App menu

Which tabs people see in the app, in what order, with what label and icon, and for whom.

App menu screen with the search box, the Who sees it filter, the counters and the list of entries with their order, label, view they open, icon and who sees them

What it is for#

This is where you decide the tabs of the app menu: which view each one opens, what it is called, its icon, its position and who sees it. You choose the label and the icon; the view is one the app already has, or a link to an external page.

Where it is: Manage › Configuration › App menu.

Things to know#

  • Home cannot be removed: the menu always needs a Home entry.
  • Each view can only appear once. Only external links can repeat.
  • A tab for Admins only or Managers only is hidden from everyone else, even though the view exists.
  • The label is required in both languages: an entry cannot be saved in Spanish only.
