The Left menu is like a visitcard of your company and a lot will depend on its functionality and appearance. The Bitrixoids team has developed a custom module for Bitrix24 On-Premise, which allows you to completely change the standard Left Menu: from structure and nesting to design and access rights. You will not find this in any tariff, because it involves a deep and fundamental change in the code of the product itself. But with our help, you decide for yourself how your interface should look and which way users will move through the system.
Why is the standard Left Menu limited?
The left menu is the main navigation tool in Bitrix24. Users interact with it every day, so its usability directly affects the speed and comfort of work. This part of the interface was developed from the point of view of “universality and accessibility” and with the average user in mind. That is why the menu suits everyone, but cannot satisfy individual needs.
In the cloud version, the possibilities are limited exclusively to standard settings and themes. In the on- premise version , there is more freedom, but it is still impossible to change the structure or design of the menu. Therefore, Bitrixoids set out to correct this “injustice” and created a special module.
Left Menu Module Features
The new module provides full control over the Bitrix24 Left Menu, which includes:
- reordering items
- creating a multi-level menu with unlimited depth
- adding nested sub-items
- hiding unnecessary sections
- color and style customization
- adding internal and external links
Other developers achieve a similar result by customizing Bitrix24. But there is a problem, even two: first, all improvements are erased during the product update, because the Left Menu code is in the program core. Second, changes can often cause the entire program to malfunction, again due to damage to the core code. The advantage of the module from Bitrixoids is that it does not harm the system : if you remove or disable it, the standard menu will be restored to its original form.
Flexible access control
And no one else will offer you something like this. Our Module allows you to configure access rights to menu items:
- for individual users
- for user groups
- taking into account priorities (personal rights have higher priority than group rights)
Even if an employee tries to go to a closed section directly through the address in the browser, the module will not allow him to do this and will redirect him to an accessible section. Our experienced developers know the product perfectly, so they understand what tricks users can resort to. That is why Bitrixoids’ developments provide much more means of countering attackers than other performers.
Managing the menu structure
In addition to improving the experience of Portal users, the Module is also extremely easy to manage. After installation, the Module creates a separate table in the highload block , where the administrator can:
- add new menu items
- change their order
- set hierarchy and nesting
- manage links and navigation logic
This creates a completely individual menu structure, adapted to your company’s processes. So you can implement any plans and ideas.
The result
The module from Bitrixoids opens up a new level of customization of the Left Menu in Bitrix24 On-Premise :
- adaptive structure
- multi-level navigation
- flexible access rights
- unique design
- convenience for employees
This is not just a change in appearance — it is a tool for optimizing the work of the entire team.
Finally: our module does not affect the operation of the Bitrix24 mobile application, since the developers did not provide a left menu there.
