The Navigational Tabs & Links page enables administrators to customize which tabs and links are available to users in the system
Troubleshooting Note: System pages that are not added to the parent organizational unit's (OU) Navigation Tabs and Links are not available to add in child OU's Navigation Tabs and Links. Thus, when adding pages to a child OU's Navigation Tabs and Links, pages do not appear in the Select Page pop-up until they have been added to the parent OU's Navigation Tabs and Links. This does not apply to custom pages.
Note: When configuring the navigation tabs and links, if a user does not have access to any of the linked pages within a tab, the tab does not appear to that user in the Navigation bar.
To manage Navigation Tabs and Links preferences, go to .

Navigation Tabs and Links Table
The following information is displayed for each navigation tab and link:

- Links - Links are denoted by a gray row color. Links are displayed in the order in which they appear within the tab.
. A landing page must be designated. Below each link name, the page header is displayed. If the designated landing page is not available for a user as a result of permissions, the first available page in the first available tab is the user's landing page.- The header does not display for Welcome pages because that may vary between Welcome pages.
- Link Title - This displays the title of the link that displays to users. This field is not applicable for navigation tabs.
