Hi

In my nav menu, i would like to  display a menu called "test" and when i click on i would to display other dashbords like below

The probkem i have is that i created "test" like a dashboard so when i click on it it open a dashboard and on the right i have an arrow with the link of other dashboard

so how to click on "test" without opening a dashboard?

thanks

<!-- Use the view element to create a dashboard link -->
<view name="dashboard1" />

<!-- Use the collection element to create a list of items -->
<collection label="Menu name">

<!-- Add items to the list -->
<view name="dashboard2" />
<view name="dashboard3" />

<!-- Add a nested list with items -->
<collection label="Submenu name">
<view name="dashboard4" />
<view name="dashboard5" />
</collection>

Hi @jip31 ,

let me understand, when you click ho the collection value instead opening the submenu, it also open a dashboard?

It's a very strange behaviour because your menu is similar to mine:

<nav>
   <!-- Use the view element to create a dashboard link -->
   <view name="dashboard1" />
   <!-- Use the collection element to create a list of items -->
   <collection label="Menu name">
      <!-- Add items to the list -->
      <view name="dashboard2" />
      <view name="dashboard3" />
      <!-- Add a nested list with items -->
      <collection label="Submenu name">
         <view name="dashboard4" />
         <view name="dashboard5" />
      </collection>
   </collection>
</nav>

Ciao.

Giuseppe
