  • Hi,

    is there a way to go back to the old navigation-structure in crm2013?
    I really do not feel comfortable with this new Navigation-style.

    is there a way to go back? how to?

    Regards

  • I don't think there is an option to go back. Would it help if you remove non-necessary menu items, ribbon buttons and data fields from forms so that user don't get overwhelmed by new look and feel.

  • Hi,

    If you are looking for old navigation i.e. 2011 then it is only available for non-refreshed entities. i.e. mostly for setting area.

  • Hi Benni,

    I am not sure we can go back to old menu but there is a way to move top menu and make it a left navigation menu. Here is how you can do it.

  • I agree with you Benni,

    I thought, I was the only one facing issues navigating through different sections of CRM 2013. Could it be that we are not used to it?

  • ok, I see. there is no way :-(

    if someone from MS reads this --> why?? not everybody is using touch and pad and so on. some People just work the normal way :-(

  • Unfortunately, the new "enhanced" navigation is completely unpractical

  • I haven't tried this personally, but this looks like a neat alternative to having an easier to navigate sitemap in 2013.

  • This is probably the same thing, it's basically a 'flat' version of the whole sitemap.
