Modifying the Navigation Menu

The

navigation menu consists of dashboard groups, dashboard folders, and out-of-the-box
Symantec ICA
menu options. You can customize the menu to fit your organization's needs. Note the following when editing the navigation menu:
  • The out-of-the-box
    Symantec ICA
    menu options should not be deleted from the navigation menu. If you do not want to display an out-of-the-box menu option, then you should disable it. Disabled menu options do not appear on the menu.
  • By default, second-level

    menu options do not use icons. Administrators can add icons to second-level menu options.
  • Folders that have no items do not appear on the navigation menu, even when they are enabled.
  • It is not necessary to open a destination folder when moving a dashboard group to another folder. The moved group becomes the last item listed in the destination folder. The group can be moved up after it has been placed in the destination folder.
  • You cannot drag a dashboard to an empty group. To move the dashboard, you must export the dashboard, and then import the dashboard to the group. Delete the original dashboard after the move.
  • An imported dashboard group does not retain the icon set for the original group. You can reset the icon by editing the dashboard group.

Adding a Menu Option

Menu options are added the same way dashboard items are added to the dashboard section. Each top-level navigation menu option is a folder or group. The second-level menu option can be a dashboard, dashboard folder or dashboard group. Menu options can be added to the main menu, or added to an existing menu folder.
