Systems with installed products have product-specific navigation links. When you select a product name from the Area menu in the Navigation bar., the product-specific links display in the Navigation menu. For more information, see the product-specific documentation.

Common Product Areas

Certain common product areas are available in all systems and have a standard set of links in the Navigation menu. These common areas include:

Intelligence Center: Currently this area does not have any navigation links, but a menu may be added in a future release.
System Administration: The system administration links show when you are in the System Administration area, and provide access to features such as the Table Manager, Audit Manager, and Security Manager. For more information, see System administration in the Web Client.

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 menu while you are in that document.

Restoring the Navigation menu to use the system default

For custom systems, the contents of the Navigation menu 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 menu of the Web Client.

Because the contents of the Navigation menu are customizable, Axiom 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 menu as follows:

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

Now your copy of the Navigation menu 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.
