Improvements in Control Panel menu management
Available since Release 6.0.0
Introduction
In this realease we are working on improving the management of the user menus of the Controlpanel, for this we are addressing different issues:
Restructuring the menu options
Improving the interface for updating the menus at role level.
New favorites management option
Menu restructuring
To make Platform more user-friendly, we have refactored the menus.
We have reorganized the groupings in what we believe is a more logical manner according to the users' workflow. Additionally, we have renamed some menu options.
Below is an illustration of how the menus will appear based on the role:
Administrator
Developer
Analytics
Menu editing enhancements
For administrator roles, we now offer the option to edit menus at the role level. Previously, this editing was done manually by directly modifying the JSON, allowing the addition of new menu options.
To facilitate easier and more streamlined management of this configuration, we have added a new tree-based menu editor in this release. Administrators can enable and disable menu options as they see fit.
This is particularly useful during the initial deployment of Platform, as it is possible that not all modules will be deployed. Administrators can disable menu options that will not be active in that specific deployment.
Once the menu is edited, the modified options will appear/disappear upon page reload.

Favorites management
To make navigation on Platform simpler and more intuitive, we have added a new menu option for managing favorites, accessible from the menu option FAVORITES > Favorites Management.
Selecting this option will load the user's menu in a tree format, allowing users to select the options they use most frequently and want to add to the favorites section.
After selecting the desired options, the selection is saved, and the options are automatically loaded into the favorites section, facilitating access to these functionalities.
