Customize dashboard navigation

You can add links to your customer dashboard navigation, for example to give customers easy access to information pages with lesson instructions, FAQs or other useful information.

Navigation menus are configured by dashboard position and language.

Before you start

If you want to add an information page to the customer dashboard, first create the page under Settings → Info pages.

Make sure the page has been saved and copy its URL.

For more information, see Create and manage information pages.

1. Add a link to the customer dashboard

1. Go to Settings → Navigation.
2. Open the navigation menu with the Student position and the language you want to configure.
3. Click Add item.
4. Complete the following fields:
   • Link: Enter the URL of the page.
   • Label: Enter the text customers should see in the menu.
5. Click Save.

For example, if you've created an English information page called Before your first lesson, you could use:

• Link: /en/info/before-your-first-lesson
• Label: Before your first lesson

The new menu item will appear in the customer dashboard navigation.

2. Add an icon

You can also configure an icon for a navigation item.

1. Open Advanced when configuring the menu item.
2. Enter the appropriate icon code in the Icon field.
3. Save the item.

For example, the SurfSignal integration uses the icon code fa-cloud-sun-rain for its forecast menu item.

3. Configure navigation in other languages

If you offer your customer dashboard in multiple languages, make sure the navigation links to the correct language versions of your pages.

1. Create the translated information page first.
2. Under Settings → Navigation, use Add translation on the right to configure the navigation menu in another language.
3. Enter the translated menu label.
4. Use the URL of the information page in that language.
5. Save your changes.

Important: Use the correct language-specific page URL for each navigation menu. An English menu should link to the English information page, while a Dutch menu should link to its Dutch version.

4. Check your navigation

After saving your changes:

1. Log in to the customer dashboard using a test customer account.
2. Check that the new menu item appears.
3. Click the item and confirm that it opens the intended page.
4. If you use multiple languages, check the navigation and links in each language.
