Personalizing Your Navigation Pane

You can change the number of menu buttons (menu button: button at the bottom of the Navigation Pane that selects which menu is displayed) displayed in your Navigation Pane, (Navigation Pane: the window on the left side of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV main window that includes Shortcuts and other menus) and the order they are displayed in. You can also hide and show menu groups and menu items. (menu items: Links to windows or dialog boxes in the program. Click on a menu item to open the window or dialog box) By hiding parts of the menu that you normally don't use, you make it easier to find the items that you do use. Hidden items are not deleted; you can always show them again.
