In case your customer is demanding a custom menu entry beyond the standard settings of the SuccessFactors instance, this article gives you a step-by-step instructions how to set this up.

Use Cases:

Home Menu, where we integrate the custom menu entry
Action Menu, where we integrate the custom menu entry

Prerequisites to create custom menu entry:

  • Make sure that „Configure Custom Navigation“ is activated in Provisioning (implementation partner or ask SF customer support)
  • Ensure that your user has the permissions (RBP) to access Admin Center -> Company Settings

How to create a custom menu entry:

  1. Go to Admin Center -> Company Settings -> Configure Custom Navigation
  2. Add your preferred settings for your external link

    Example:

    1. Menu Item Label: Define which label your menu entry should have (in this case „DRTM“)
    2. ID: Choose your own enumeration
    3. Link type: Choose if you want to link inside your SuccessFactors instance („Internal Link“) or if you want to link to external website content
    4. URL: Copy the URL link (depending if internal or external) of your destination and paste in this field
    5. Menu location: here you can choose the menu that your custom navigation entry should use; in this screenshot „Top Navigation“ is the „Home“ Menu on the start page of your SuccessFactors instance and „Employee Profile – Jump-to“ is on „My Employee Profile“ Page in the „Actions“ button menu
