Update Navigation Labels

You can change seven of the key terms displayed within the navigation menu, which will also update all instances of the corresponding word as it appears throughout the interface. 

  • Supplier: used to represent a vendor that provides your organisation with products or services
  • Annual Value: used to indicate a monetary worth or value for contracts on an annual basis
  • Team: used to associate your organisation's contracts and users with an internal department
  • Project: used throughout the interface to associate suppliers and contracts to specific projects
  • Category: used to categorise or arrange suppliers and contracts into specific groupings
  • Event: used to provide notifications for important dates, reviews, and reminders
  • Entity: used to represent the specific legal entity associated with a contract record

Navigation | Labels

To edit one of the available labels:

  1. Expand the 3 dots on the relevant label, then select Edit.
  2. Enter the new Translation, and click Save.

At this time, only these terms can be changed throughout your tenant.

Enable Dynamic Navigation

Dynamic navigation allows users to reorder the options within the navigation menu. To turn this on, enable the Dynamic Navigation toggle.


Enable Dynamic Navigation

Note: Your current dynamic navigation configuration will become the default for all users. A user can then modify their own configuration from the new default view if desired.

To view fewer navigation items at any time, click the Less option. This will roll up the navigation. Click on More to expand the full menu

Navigation | View Less

Change Order of Navigation Menu

When dynamic navigation is enabled, each user can change the order of their navigation menu:

  1. Click the lock icon to unlock the navigation
  2. Select a menu option and drag it to the desired location
  3. Click the tick icon to save the changes.
    Reorder Navigation

You can restore the default order of the list by clicking the circular arrow icon.

Set Default Navigation For All Users

You can set a default Dynamic Navigation for all users (both new and existing). This helps to simplify the user experience by only showing the areas of Gatekeeper that are relevant to your team in the navigation menu. Users can still edit this to suit their own personal preference as needed. 

Note: Users require the Administrator role and Configuration additional permission to manage these settings.

To set the default navigation for all users:

  1. Configure your own navigation menu in the way you want all users have it configured by default.
  2. From the navigation menu, expand Settings then click Configuration.
  3. Click Navigation, Charts & Email.View Default Navigation
  4. Click View in the DYNAMIC NAVIGATION section.
  5. Select the appropriate option.
    1. Apply to New users: sets the default navigation for new users only. This will only affect newly invited users to the tenant. Users can then modify their configuration.
    2. Apply to All users: sets the default navigation for all users, both new and existing. This will affect all users, including Administrators. Users can then modify their configuration.
