Hi,

I believe there is no simple configuration that hides these 3 nav. items, they are part of UCI Application Design.

However, you can change the Navigation Type of your app from Single Session to Multi-session.

You can update your App's customization.xml, to change <NavigationType> value (from 0 to 1):

1

If you change it to 1 (Multi-session), the type of interface is changed and No Navigation Item is shown (including Home, Recent and Pinned):

You can open the New Tabs by clicking on ' ' icon.

I am not sure if this is an ideal solution for you or not, but it hides all nav. items including Home, Recent and Pinned.

Here are the steps to update the Navigation Type:

Go to Advanced Settings -> Customization -> Solutions.

Create a new solution and add your existing app.

Export the solution (unmanaged) and extract the zip file.

Open the customizations.xml file in your favorite editor.

Look for <NavigationType> under <AppModule> and change the value from 0 to 1.

Zip the files and import the solution back in CRM.

Publish All Customizations and refresh.

Here is the link to Microsoft Docs on this property:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/developer/entities/appmodule#BKMK_NavigationType

You can see detailed steps in my blogpost here:

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Best,

Wahaj

Hi Wahaj,

Happy new year!

Thanks for your advise to achieve.

I've few doubts in my mind before starting and testing your solution:

1) I have an solution with an APP already in dev, test as Un Managed and Train and Production as Managed version solutions environments.

2) Still i need to create a new solution to implement for an single app with new solution or can apply your solution.

Cheers

Hi,

You can apply this solution in your current app (solution_ as well.

Just add your app in a CRM solution (if not added before).

The purpose of creating a separate solution and have only app in it is to simplify modification of customization.xml. If you add all components to the solution, your customization.xml file will contain all the components and it will be large.

Choose whatever approach suits you, in the end, you will get same results by setting <NavigationType> property.

Best,

Wahaj
