Navigation Control
Newclear's Navigation page lets every user customize which menu items appear in which navigation locations. Whether you want a streamlined POS-focused layout or a full operational dashboard, you control what's visible and where.
Location: /account/navigation
Navigation Locations

Reordering Navigation Items
Within each zone, you can drag navigation items to reorder them:

- Grab the drag handle (⠿ icon) on the left
- Drag to the desired position
- Release — the order is saved
The sidebar, header, and profile menu all respect your custom order.
Resetting Navigation
If you want to restore the default navigation layout:
- At the bottom of the Navigation page, click Reset to Defaults
- Confirm
All items return to their default zone assignments and icon choices.
Per-User Navigation
Navigation preferences are per user — each team member can have their own custom layout.
A warehouse manager might have Inventory and Stock Check prominently in their sidebar, while a cashier might have POS as their only sidebar item.
Minimalist POS layout: For dedicated cashier workstations, set up navigation with only POS in the Aside and nothing else. This creates a focused, distraction-free checkout interface.
