'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.

Customize the navigation in your business project

Control what your team sees in the project view navigation. Display the tabs that are most useful and important to the team, and remove what’s not. Any changes that are made to the navigation will be visible for everyone who has access to the business project.

Project admins can customize the following:

  • Set the default view for the project

  • Remove a tab from the navigation

  • Add a tab back to the navigation if it has been removed

  • Reorder the tabs

Set the default view for your project

Your default view will be the tab that all members in your business project will land on when they open the business project. You can only set the Summary, Board, List, Calendar, or Timeline as the default for your business project.

To set the default view for your project:

  1. Hover your cursor over the tab you want to set as your default.

  2. Select the More actions (•••) menu.

  3. Select Set as default.

Remove a tab from your navigation

  • You’re unable to hide a tab that has been set as the default. A project must always have a default tab. Set another tab as the default if you don’t want it to appear in the navigation for your business project.

  • You’re unable to hide the List and Apps tab.

To hide a tab from your project view navigation, you can:

  1. Hover your cursor over the tab you want to hide.

  2. Select the More actions (•••) menu.

  3. Select Hide.

Add a tab back to your navigation

To add a tab back to the navigation in your business project:

  1. Select the plus icon + in your project view navigation.

  2. Choose which tab you want to add to your project view navigation.

Reorder your tabs

There are two ways you can reorder the tabs in your navigation:

The first way is by dragging your project’s tabs in the order that you desire.

The second way is by:

  1. Select the More actions (•••) menu.

  2. Select either Move tab left or Move tab right, and your tab will move one space over when you select it.

Rename a tab

Customize your project by renaming your tabs to suit your team's needs. To rename a tab:

  1. Hover your cursor over the tab you want to rename.

  2. Select the Tab options menu (•••).

  3. Select Rename.

  4. Enter the new tab name and select enter.
