Note: Mobile apps must be running the latest version to see your customizations. Please quit and restart your mobile app to download the updates!
With Mobile App Custom Navigation, you have the power to tailor how your app is structured and presented, ensuring that the most important features are just a tap away for your community. Whether you're highlighting key functionality, streamlining the user journey, or aligning the app interface with your business model, custom navigation gives you full control over how your users interact with your app.
In this article, we’ll walk through how to configure your app’s navigation settings to match your unique needs and preference, making the mobile experience not only easier to use, but distinctly yours.
Customizing the Bottom Tabs
Easily customize your app’s bottom navigation by dragging to reorder tabs, choosing from a variety of icons, and selecting which features are visible to your users. This allows you to prioritize what matters most and create a navigation experience that fits your business.
Note: we allow six total tabs, but recommend that you use four or five, for spacing purposes. Make sure to look at your app to make sure they all fit nicely!
Customizing the Side Menu
You can follow the same simple steps to customize the side menu for the Employee View. Drag to reorder menu items, update icons, and choose which features are visible, ensuring your staff has quick access to the tools they use most.
To make your navigation updates visible to both staff and clients, be sure to apply your changes under the “Visible to All” settings. This ensures the customized layout appears in the app for all users, providing a consistent and branded experience across the board.
Creating a new Menu Item
Creating a new Menu Item lets you add even more options to your customized navigation menu, whether it's linking to a key feature, an external resource, or something specific to your business. Simply click "Create Menu Item" and create away!
Viewing your new navigation
Refreshing your mobile app's navigation happens automatically; most clients will see it just by using the app as they normally do. For testing purposes, admins can force refreshing the mobile app navigation by doing one of the following:
- Launch the app
- Bring the app from the background to the foreground
- Log in or change gyms
- Pull down to refresh on the Home screen
Menu item visibility
Some items can't be assigned in Core without activating other features. For example:
- The Workout and Results items cannot be assigned without the Perform package
- When Perform is activated or deactivated, it may take up to five minutes for the item to become available to assign
- The Buy item cannot be assigned unless Online Sales is enabled, and at least one Membership is marked as available online
Other items have to follow additional rules to appear in the mobile app:
- The Progressions item won't appear unless that Client has at least one Progression added to their account; see Progression Tracking for more info
- The Media item (or any Media Library Content items) won't appear unless the Client has visibility per the Media > Permissions page; see Media Library for more info
- The Chat item won't appear unless In-App Chat is enabled (for Clients), or if the coach has access to an approved SMS number (for coaches)
