    Application navigator

    The application navigator, or left navigation bar, provides access to all applications and the modules they contain, enabling users to quickly find information and services.

    An application is a group of modules, or pages, that provide related information and functionality in an instance. For example, the Incident application contains modules for creating and viewing incidents. The Configuration Management application contains modules for configuring servers, databases, and networks.

    In UI16, the application navigator also provides access to favorites and recently viewed items.

    Administrators can customize the application navigator to provide different modules by user role, modify or define applications and modules, and change its appearance.

    Watch this four-minute video for a tour of the Application Navigator:

    • Navigate directly to a table

      You can use commands in the navigation filter to navigate directly to the list, form, or configuration view of a table.

    • Create or modify a menu list

      In UI15, it is possible to switch menu lists, providing different perspectives of the applications and modules. You can create or edit these menu lists using the Menu List table.

    • Enable or disable an application menu or module

      You can enable (show) or disable (hide) an application menu or module in the application navigator.

    • Add an application menu to a category

      There are two methods for adding an application menu to a category.

    • Create an application menu

      Application menus define the main content that users can access in the application navigator. You can configure which applications appear in the application navigator.

    • Create a module

      Modules are the children, or the second tier navigation options to the applications in the application navigator. Modules often link to other pages or records in the platform. You can configure which modules appear in the application navigator using Application Menus module.
