Customize the left rail

Keep the modules you use every day on the left rail and tuck the rest under More. You can drag modules between the rail and More, change their order, and reset to the default. Your rail is saved to your account, so it looks the same on every device you sign in from.

Before you start

  • You are signed in to Ohanvi. If not, see Sign in to Ohanvi.
  • You use Ohanvi on a computer. Drag and drop needs a mouse or trackpad.

How the rail works

The rail is the column of icons on the far left. Home is always first. Each module below it opens its own menu next to the rail.

More is a module of its own. Click it and its menu lists every module you keep off the rail, each as a section with its own pages.

Left rail with Home, Contacts, WhatsApp, Connect and Analytics, and More at the bottom

  • Keep your daily modules up front. Put the ones you open every day on the rail, so they are always one click away.
  • Park the rest under More. Modules you only need now and then wait there, with all their pages, until you want them.
  • Change it whenever your work changes. Started using CRM every day? Bring it onto the rail. Stopped needing something? Drop it into More. It is saved to your account and follows you to any device.

Steps

Open a module that is under More

  1. On the rail, click More. The More menu opens next to the rail.
  2. Click the section you want, for example CRM. The section opens and lists its pages.
  3. Click a page. It opens, and More stays highlighted on the rail while you are on it.

Sections under More start closed. Ohanvi remembers which ones you leave open.

Move a module onto the rail

  1. Click More to open its menu.
  2. Drag the section heading, for example CRM, onto the rail. A line shows where it will land.
  3. Drop it. The module now sits on the rail at that place.

Or right-click the section heading and click Move out of More (show on rail). The module goes to the end of the rail.

Move a module into More

  1. Drag the module's icon on the rail, for example Contacts. The icon lifts and its place on the rail stays empty while you drag.
  2. Drop it on More on the rail, or on the open More menu. It becomes a section under More.

Or right-click the module on the rail and click Move into More.

Contacts being dragged up the rail, with its old place left empty

  • Pick it up. Press on a module's icon and move your mouse. The icon lifts and an empty gap stays where it was.
  • Watch the line. A thin line between two modules shows exactly where it will land.
  • Let go. Drop it on the rail to put it there, or on More to tuck it away. That's it, no Save button needed.

Change the order

  • On the rail: drag a module up or down and drop it where you want it.
  • Under More: drag a section heading above or below another section.
  • With the mouse: right-click a module or a section heading and click Move up or Move down.

Use the right-click menu

Right-click any module on the rail, or any section heading under More, to manage it without dragging.

  1. Right-click the module, for example Contacts on the rail. A menu opens next to it.
  2. Click the action you want:

    Action Where you see it What it does
    Move into More A module on the rail Takes the module off the rail and adds it as a section under More.
    Move out of More (show on rail) A section heading under More Puts the module back on the rail, at the end.

    Right-click menu on Contacts with Move into More, Move up, Move down and Customize rail

The change is saved as soon as you click. Home has no right-click menu, because it always stays first.

Use Customize rail

Customize rail shows every module in one place.

  1. Open it one of these ways:
    • Click Customize rail… at the bottom of the More menu
    • Right-click a module or a section heading, then click Customize rail…
    • Right-click More on the rail
  2. In Customize your rail, look at the two lists:

    • On the rail — every module on the rail, top to bottom, with how many there are.
    • Under More — every module under More, with how many there are.

    Customize your rail with Contacts, Integrations, Analytics and WhatsApp on the rail and six modules under More

  3. Turn a module's switch on to put it on the rail. Turn it off to move it under More. The module moves to the other list straight away.

  4. Reorder the modules On the rail:
    • Click the up or down arrow on a row to move it one place.
    • Or drag the dotted handle on the left of a row up or down.
  5. Click Save. The message Rail saved to your preferences. appears and the rail updates.

To leave without changing anything, click the × in the top-right corner. Nothing is saved until you click Save.

Module names in this window

Customize your rail shows each module's full name. On the rail some names are shorter: Integrations is Connect, Appointments is Appts and Email Marketing is Email.

Go back to the default

In Customize your rail, click Reset to default, then click Save. The rail goes back to the default.

Things to know

  • Home always stays first. You cannot move it into More or reorder it.
  • If a module under More has unread items, for example new WhatsApp messages, the count shows on More and on that module's section heading.
  • Your rail is saved for your role. If you switch to another role, that role has its own rail.
  • Moving a module never changes what is inside it. Only where you open it from changes.
