Kibana: Auto collapse side menu

Created on 19 Jul 2017  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: elastic/kibana

Would this be possible, with an option to make it configurable to on/off and then a sensitivity/time value?

I see a heap of screenshots of awesome dashboards where there's a big set of screen realestate taken by the (relatively blank) pink side menu/bar.

We experimented with an auto-hide sidebar originally, and it was frustrating enough in practice that we replaced it with the current toggle functionality. With the new full-screen mode coming out in dashboard, it's probably worth seeing how widely that is used before we mix up the navigation behaviors again. Thoughts?

Go to Kibana/src/ui/public/chrome/services/global_nav_state.js
and set return value for (isOpen === null) as false. If you want to set default status to collapsed (If that's what you're looking for).

Any idea on how the global_nav_state.js can be updated for a cloud deployment on elastic cloud?

Thanks for your help!

Closing this issue. The design team is doing housekeeping against our attached tags and closing issues without much recent activity. Feel free to reopen if you still have issues or feel this is in error.


We are moving away from a sidebar for K7 and it looks like an auto-toggle is not possible at the moment.
