How to: Create a Menu for a Department in a MenuSuite

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 provides a basic MenuSuite that you can modify, or you can create a new MenuSuite from the basic MenuSuite. You modify a MenuSuite by designing it in Navigation Pane Designer. In Navigation Pane Designer, you can modify an existing menu for a department or create a new menu. Creating a new menu creates a new department in the MenuSuite. This procedure describes how to create a menu for a department in a MenuSuite.
