Left navigation
The updated DevRev's left navigation is designed to provide a more customizable and intuitive navigation experience. This update introduces new sections for better organization, enhanced customization capabilities, and a dedicated Explore page for managing views, dashboards, and sprint boards.
When existing users log in, a prompt appears to guide them in migrating to the new left navigation. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the migration and begin customizing your experience.
Key changes
New navigation sections
The updated left navigation includes the following sections:
- Work
- Product
- Customer
- People
These new sections replace the former categories of Build, Product, Support, and Grow, offering a more personalized user experience. You can set defaults based on your primary application preferences and add custom views to these sections for easier access.
Explore the section for boards and views
An Explore section has been introduced where all your shared, personal, and sprint boards are now conveniently located.
To access your boards and views, navigate to Explore in the left navigation menu. The Explore section is divided into three categories:
- Stock Views: Default views provided by DevRev.
- My Views: Views that you have created.
- Shared: Views that have been shared with you or your organization.
Search and filter options in Explore
In the Explore section, users can search for specific views using the search bar located in the top-left corner. Additionally, users can filter views by type, including:
- Dashboards
- Sprint Boards
- Vistas
Pinning and unpinning views
You can now pin views from the Explore section directly to your left navigation menu or remove them for a more tailored experience. This feature ensures quick access to the most important views.
To pin or unpin a view:
- Navigate to the Explore section and hover over the desired view.
- Click the pin icon to add it to your left navigation, or click the unpin icon to remove it.
Recents section
The Recents section automatically displays the five most recently opened unpinned views. These views will appear in the left navigation under the following conditions:
- When a view is opened from the Explore section.
- When a view is accessed via an external link, such as a shared view.
You do not need to pin these views; they appear automatically in Recents and remain there until replaced by newer views.
