Choose what appears in your side menu

The side menu's four default buttons are now ordinary shortcuts, so you can turn them off, rename them, or reorder them like any other.

Improvement: the side menu's default buttons are now shortcuts.

Every workspace opened with the same four buttons at the top of its side menu: Home, Submissions, Tasks and Help. You could add your own shortcuts underneath, but those four were fixed.

Those four are now system shortcuts. You manage them like the ones you create yourself, with one safeguard: they cannot be deleted, only disabled.

Find them in the shortcut manager. Open the "Shortcuts" menu and go to the Side menu tab: Home, Submissions, Tasks and Help now sit in the Shared shortcuts section, next to the shortcuts you built.

Disable the ones you don't need. Select a system shortcut and use the Disable button. It leaves the side menu, stays in the manager, and comes back whenever you enable it again.

Show them only to the groups that need them. System shortcuts are shared shortcuts, so the Groups selector applies to them too. Leave it empty and everyone keeps the shortcut; pick a group or two and only those users see it. That is how you give one profile the Submissions button and another profile a side menu without it.

Rename and reorder them. Give them the wording your teams use, in each of your platform languages, and drag them where they belong among your shared shortcuts. Help is the one exception: it always comes last, below your own shortcuts.

Send Help wherever you want. Help is an external link shortcut, pointing at this documentation site by default. Replace the URL and it opens your own internal documentation instead. You can change its icon too.

Home is always within reach. Even with the Home shortcut disabled, a home button sits next to the Daxium-Air logo at the top of the screen, so nobody gets stranded.

Nothing changed on your workspace. The four shortcuts were added to every existing workspace already enabled and in their usual order, so your side menus look exactly as they did. The change only starts when you decide to make one.

Disabling the Submissions shortcut, or restricting it to a group, is a practical way to keep a profile within the shortcuts you prepared for them, rather than in the full list of forms they have access to.

Be aware that this hides a route, it does not remove a permission. A user who still has rights on a form can reach its submissions another way, for instance through a relation. When you need an actual restriction, set it with group permissions.
