Dashboard Menu

How to enable the menu on a dashboard

The navigation on multitab dashboards is accomplished through the dashboard menu.

To display the menu, open the dashboard, switch to EDIT mode, and toggle the menu option on the dashboard settings panel.

Dashboard menu structure

Options

You can choose different options for displaying the menu on dashboards (together or separately).

1. Horizontal tabs (all tabs are displayed above the dashboard).

2. Hamburger menu (tabs are hidden under the hamburger button and are accessed with a click).

3. Left panel (all tabs are displayed in the pane on the left of the dashboard).
   When the left panel is enabled, the horizontal menu (if also activated) displays only the active tab. The full horizontal menu can be displayed by deactivating the left panel.

4. The root icons option adds icon display in the left menu panel. By default, they are not visible, unlike in the horizontal menu.

Hierarchy

Regardless of the options selected, you can create a hierarchical structure of tabs in the menu. To create a tab hierarchy, click on the selector on the left of each tab and drag and drop the tab onto another to nest it.

When you go to a sub-tab, breadcrumbs with a Home icon appear above the menu. Clicking on the Home icon will take you back to the first tab, which usually serves as the landing page.

Top-level tabs will not be accessible - use them as catalog folders only.

Menu settings

1. First of all, you can choose the size and font of the text used in the menu. As usual, it can be done with the text editor icon on the menu pane.

2. Each menu option has 2 color pickers:

   1. The first one defines the background color;

   2. The second one defines the content color.

3. Once selected, the Hamburger menu offers an additional setting: you can enter the text to be displayed next to the hamburger icon.
