You can customize the appearance and contents of your tile navigation:

• Change tile color
• Change tile icon
• Change tile size
• Pin tiles to the navigation bar
• Hide tiles
• Create view tiles
• Create and edit groups

Editing via the context menu

Each tile has a context menu that is opened by right-clicking the tile.

You can make the following tile settings within the tile's context menu.

• Pin to the navigation bar or Unpin from the navigation bar: This function places the tile on the navigation bar next to your Profile menu [your name] or removes it. Pinned tiles make it easier for you to switch between the work areas.
• Change size
• Hide: When you hide tiles, they are moved to the Hidden tiles area. To restore hidden tiles, drag them to the desired location in the tile navigation.

Changing tile settings

Right-clicking a tile and selecting Settings opens the settings for the selected tile. You can change the color, the icon, and the size of the tile.

You can also enable the following options:

• Pinned to the navigation bar: This function places the tile on the navigation bar next to your Profile menu [your name] or removes it. Pinned tiles make it easier for you to switch between the work areas.
• Show number of entries: If this option is enabled, the tile shows the number of direct child entries in the work area. If you enable this option for the Repository work area, for example, only the top folder level will be shown, and not all the entries it contains. This option is particularly useful in the Tasks work area.

The changes are saved automatically.

Exit the tile settings by clicking the selected tile or the button with the left arrow.

You can open the tile settings for another tile by clicking the other tile.
