Introduction
This article will show you how to create your own custom company/hub menu and how to edit any company/hub menu. To do this, you will need the role of the superuser.

As this is a main navigation tool for all your company’s users, it is worth spending time designing and setting up a proper and user-friendly system. The goal is to make it easy for all employees to find modules, reports and documents (e.g. best practice documents) that they will be looking for to optimise performance.
