Dynamic navigation allows the administrator to setup navigation links in the top bar for all users to easily access any page on your Brightidea site!
- Dynamic Navigation is available on both Enterprise and Challenge/Site levels.
- Administrators should be careful how they setup navigation as the user progresses through their Brightidea site and make sure the navigation context makes sense throughout the site.
- Administrators have the ability to choose who has access to these hyperlinks in the top navigation, the following options are available for each link configured:
- ALL - Everyone in the Brightidea system can access this
- ADMIN - Only Administrators
- System Administrators only if it is on Enterprise level
- Site Administrators only if it is on the Challenge/Site level
- EVALUATOR - Switchboard Evaluators (Added manually via Old Switchboard Setup) -
- Navigation items set to "Evaluator" can be set by system evaluators set in Switchboard Setup.
- If an end user is assigned an action item, and is not added as an evaluator in Switchboard setup, the navigation item will not populate for that user.
- Moderator - Learn more about how to configure a moderator here.
- To add a new link in dynamic navigation, select the "Add a Navigation Item" from the setup page:
- To add a sub-navigation link, select the green plus sign next to the drop-down of the existing top level link:
- Any sub-items will be in the drop-down menu of the main item.
- To remove any dynamic navigation item, select the Red "X" on the right of it:
- The administrator will receive a pop-up to confirm the deletion of the navigation item:
- Administrators can also drag and drop any item to change the order of their dynamic navigation links.
- Drag the up and down arrow icon on the far left of the dynamic navigation item:
- Select far right check-box to make the URL open in a new window:
- If the Brightidea site uses multiple domains for the, the best way to setup the dynamic navigation is with the following notation:
- ../ct/page_name
- See the below screenshot - the dynamic navigation will inherit whichever URL the user is actually on, if multiple.
- Example, if a user uses "ideas.company.com" or "ideas.brightidea.com", the domain will carry through all their navigation links so the experience is seamless when browsing the Brightidea site.
- For each item added to dynamic navigation, the administrator should use the standard 'dynamic link' option from the blue arrow drop-down to select pre-determined pages.
- The administrator can choose to select pages that would most likely be used within their Brightidea site:
- Home
- My Profile
- View Ideas
- Setup
- Blog
- Member Landing Page
- Action Items
- Manage Pipelines
- Business Results
- Note:
- The administrator can also manually input any URL they wish for each item (example, any public company website URL, Google, etc.)
