How to create a menu item in the search app ?

Hi, I am trying to create an arborescence of saved search but I have some problems. I would like to have something like that :

Windows
  Severity/criticality
  --1
    --security
    --...
  --2
    --security
    --...
  --n
    --security
    --...
  Logon fails
  ...

Linux
  same

Cisco
  same

But I saw that in Search application it's impossible to have more than 2 levels of sub-menu in the 'Search & Reports' ( http://answers.splunk.com/questions/5311/multi-level-nav-menu-wont-open ) So I tried to add a new menu item in the bottom of the file SPLUNK/etc/apps/search/default/data/ui/nav/default.xml , but it doesn't appear too.

Is it possible to add a menu item or do something else to classify the saved search ?

Thank for your help and sorry for the possible english mistakes 😃

EDIT : Here's my default.xml

<nav>
  <view name="dashboard" default='true' />
  <view name="flashtimeline" />
  <collection label="Status">
    <collection label="Search activity">
      <view name="search_status" />
      <view name="search_detail_activity" />
      <view name="search_user_activity" />
      <view name="search_ui_activity" />
    </collection>
    <collection label="Index activity">
      <view name="index_status" />
      <view name="index_status_health" />
      <view name="indexing_volume" />
    </collection>
    <collection label="Server activity">
      <view name="splunkd_status" />
      <view name="splunkweb_status" />
    </collection>
    <view name="inputs_status" />
    <collection label="Scheduler activity">
      <view name="scheduler_status" />
      <view name="scheduler_user_app" />
      <view name="scheduler_savedsearch" />
      <view name="scheduler_status_errors" />
      <view name="pdf_activity" />
    </collection>
  </collection>
  <collection label="Views">

    <divider />
    <view source="unclassified" />

  </collection>
  <collection label="Searches &amp; Reports">

      <saved source="unclassified" match="error" />
    </collection>
    <collection label="Admin">
      <saved source="unclassified" match="Admin" />
    </collection>
    <collection label="Inputs">
      <saved source="unclassified" match="Inputs" />
    </collection>
    <divider />
    <a href="https://answers.splunk.commanager/search/saved/searches">Manage Searches &amp; Reports</a>        
  </collection>

  <collection label="Windows Criticality">
    <collection label="Info">
      <saved source="unclassified" match="WCrit0" />
    </collection>
  </collection>

</nav>

Please post your default.xml so we can take a look at it.

Your default.xml looks correct to me. Did you restart splunk after changing the file?

Question what permissions does your saved search have and what app is that saved search associated with?

Travis.

I'm stupid, I have just seen that I have deleted, I don't know when, my 'WCrit0' saved searches ... So I have created a new one and it works fine.

Sorry for your wasted time =/
