Thank you for your feedback
The Navigation Bar is used to access all the different areas and modules of SysAid.
There are four main groups on the Navigation Bar Service Desk, Assets, Analytics, and Tools. Within each of these groups there are sub groups that give you access to the different modules and features within SysAid. At the bottom of many of the sub groups there is a direct link to the settings page for that particular group.
The Menu Customization link, located on the bottom right of the main groups, allows you to limit which menu options are visible based on Administrator groups (Full Edition only).
Assets Group (direct link to Monitoring Settings circled)
Note
All Menu's in SysAid are based on your user permissions and your SysAid License. Modules, features, and settings that you do not have permissions to will not show on the menus.
There are eight additional features of the Navigation Bar:
