Site administrators are able to customise the site navigation bar, giving them the ability to add links to modules, sites, individual content items or external links in any order or combination.
To access the custom navigation settings, navigate to Admin > Site settings > Site navigation:
There will be two options listed, Automatic site navigation and Custom site navigation:
Automatic site navigation is where the modules can be renamed but not moved around, the top navigation bar is connected and will reflect the enabled modules. The custom site navigation can be completely tailored - you can change the order, change what appears, hide modules, add links to iSheets, tasks or folders, and even add containers to group items into dropdowns. The below information shows you to set up your custom site navigation.
Click the Custom site navigation check box to display the Customer site navigation screen:
