Hi,
In my nav menu, I use two links towards two dashboard:

<nav search_view="SA_Test_sh" color="#FF0000">
<view name="diskhealth" default='true'  />
<view name="battery" />
</nav>

In diskhealth link, I would like to have two sub menus.
I tried but I did not succeed.
Thanks for your help.

Nested collection works great as well

<nav search_view="search" color="#1D1D1B"> 
  <a href="link_1">Link 1</a>
  <collection label="Sub Links">
        <a href="sub_link_1">Sub Link 1</a>
        <a href="sub_link_2">Sub Link 2</a>
        <collection label="Sub sub Links">
              <a href="sub_link_1">Sub sub Link 1</a>
              <a href="sub_link_2">Sub sub Link 2</a>
        </collection>
  </collection>
    <view name="search" default='true' />
    <view name="reports" />
    <view name="alerts" />
    <view name="dashboards" />
</nav>

When I am doing, it works

  <collection label="Sub Links">
         <a href="sub_link_1">Sub Link 1</a>
         <a href="sub_link_2">Sub Link 2</a>
   </collection>

But instead an href link, I need a view name
So I am doing this but it doesn't works!

   <collection label="Sub Links">
         <view name="critical"</>
   </collection>
