What can I add to my navigation

Multilevel Navigation (Add a Header) 

How to add a header to your navigation

There is a multilevel navigation option so that items can be grouped for users who add multiple links to the navigation.
You now simply add a heading such as ‘dashboards’ and you drop your dashboards under the heading.

When you hover over the heading on the navigation, the dashboard options will then appear.

To do this select Add → Heading and drag any links or dashboards you want to be featured under that heading into the title.

Minimal Navigation (Show icons only) 

You can now enable a compact variation of the navigation menu which only displays the icons. When the user hovers over the icon the name of the link will appear.

To do this you simply need to switch need to enable minimal navigation at the top of the navigation page.
