The Global Navigation Bar provides access to system-wide features.., the product-specific links display in the Navigation panel. For more information, see the product-specific documentation.

Additionally, when you open a report or other browser-based document, that document may be associated with a set of document-specific navigation links. These links are added to the Navigation panel while you are in that document.

Restoring the Navigation panel to use the system default

The contents of the Navigation panel are controlled by the WebClientNavigationPane.axl file, located in the following folder: \Axiom\Axiom System\Forms Runtime. This is a custom task pane file that gets rendered in the Navigation panel of the Web Client.

Because the contents of the Navigation panel are customizable, Axiom Financial Institutions Suite does not automatically overwrite this file when updates are made. Instead, the most current version of the file is placed in this folder as Platform.WebClientNavigationPane.axl. In brand new systems, both files are the same, but in existing systems only Platform.WebClientNavigationPane.axl has the latest updates.

At any time, you can restore the system default Navigation panel as follows:

Delete WebClientNavigationPane.axl.
Copy Platform.WebClientNavigationPane.axl.
Rename the copy to WebClientNavigationPane.axl.

Now your copy of the Navigation panel is exactly the same as the current system-provided version. You can make customizations to this file as needed, or you can just use the system default.
