Customizable Platform Navigation
The Problem
The Vault platform is highly configurable, but navigating the out-of-the-box UI was confusing and required too many clicks. Users complained that the default navigation was inadequate, and they were having to generate site maps for their team to find pages.
The Solution
An adjustable site header and navigation bar with configurable tabs and sub-menus allows Administrators to customize by adding tabs to direct links to popular pages and organizing menus, so important content is easily accessible from within the platform.
Standard tabs (Home, Reports, and Dashboards) cannot be removed from the navigation. Containers can be added and used to build a dropdown menu of pages. The header is fluid; reducing the width of the browser adjusts the size of elements within the header to fit the available width. The tabs in the orange navigation bar flow into an overflow tab with cascading menus, if they exceed with width available.
- Administrators can configure the tabs displayed to their team and modify the menu structure to uniquely tailor their Vault application to their departments’ individual needs and permission requirements.
- Tabs can be organized into containers, which can hold up to ten tabs in a menu. Tabs can be reordered by an account Administrator without support from developers.
- Configuration settings have an intuitive edit and reorder mode for Administrators to define the tab structure without assistance from Customer Support.
