5 CORNERS. Menu Management The default left-hand menu in Bitrix24 is identical for all users: it features a fixed set of items, a static order, and standard system icons. This uniformity creates usability issues: accountants see irrelevant sections, sales staff cannot locate necessary tools, and new employees get lost in the general list.

What this solution does

5 CORNERS. Menu Management

The default left-hand menu in Bitrix24 is identical for all users: it features a fixed set of items, a static order, and standard system icons. This uniformity creates usability issues: accountants see irrelevant sections, sales staff cannot locate necessary tools, and new employees get lost in the general list. The native platform lacks centralized menu configuration settings for administrators; every user rearranges items individually, and administrators cannot control these changes.

The 5 CORNERS. Menu Management module transfers control of the left menu to the portal administrator. Through the admin panel, administrators can assign clear icons to menu items, highlight important sections with borders, group elements into collapsible folders, and distribute personalized item sets to employees, departments, and workgroups. It is also possible to prohibit users from modifying the menu on their own.

No portal template editing or manual code integration is required. After installation, a new section appears in the admin panel, and the functionality is ready to use immediately.

FEATURES

— Custom icons for any menu item. Images can be uploaded as files, provided via a URL, or selected from the built-in Material Design library, which includes over 7,000 searchable icons. No graphic designer is needed.

Two rendering modes: a silhouette matching the portal theme color, visually indistinguishable from native icons, and a full-color mode. Scaling and offset settings allow external images to align perfectly within the menu row.

Highlighting important items. A border with specified thickness, style, and color is drawn around the target item to draw the employee's attention. The element is rendered on top without shifting the rest of the menu structure.

Custom folders in the left menu. Collapsible sections are created similar to the standard 'Collaboration' and 'Applications' folders, but with your own name, icon, and contents. An administrator creates and populates the folder, after which each employee can move it as desired.

Personalized menus for employees, departments, and workgroups. Unnecessary items are hidden, and the order is set via drag-and-drop. Custom folders and links can be added inside, including links to resources not present in the portal menu at all. A specific setting can lock the menu against editing to prevent employees from reverting it. A 'Main Menu' set exists, which is assigned to all users who have not been assigned a personalized menu. For the set to activate, two conditions must be met: the global 'Apply patterns' toggle at the top of the page and the 'Active' flag on the set itself.

If all toggles are turned off, no menu set works, even if the Active checkbox is selected. The system displays a yellow warning banner on the page to indicate this.

Each feature is enabled individually. All four capabilities have their own toggle switch. When a feature is turned off, it is hidden from employees, but its settings are preserved. This allows the menu to be prepared in advance and activated when ready.

LIMITATIONS

Extranet is not supported. If the portal has an extranet—a separate site for partners, contractors, and clients—the module functions only on the main site where employees work. On the extranet, external users see the standard menu without icons, frames, folders, or personal sets. This is intentional: the extranet has its own menu with different items, and a personal set created for employees would leave an external user with an empty menu.

Portal administrators are excluded from personal set rules. An administrator always sees the full menu; otherwise, there would be nothing to configure. To verify a personal set, you must log in as a regular employee from the selected audience. Administrators see icons, frames, and folders just like everyone else.

REQUIREMENTS

Bitrix24, on-premise version, Corporate Portal edition.

The 5 UGLOV Menu Management module is compatible with PHP version 8.1 and higher (tested on version 8.4). It supports MySQL and PostgreSQL databases and operates on both platforms. The functionality integrates with the left menu of the standard Bitrix24 template in Air mode.

General iT can take care of implementing “5 CORNERS. Menu Management”, including installation, configuration and result verification.

UPDATE HISTORY

What’s new

3 releases
1.5.0 (22.10.2026)Latest update

Menu Patterns

- Pattern items now have a "Open in new tab" checkbox. Enable it, and the item in the employee's left menu will open in a new browser tab, just like a standard portal item with the same setting. By default, the checkbox is disabled, and already created items open as before, in the same tab.

- Main menu items that come from "Set my menu for everyone" now retain the "Open in new tab" setting from the standard portal window.

Other

- Notifications about new versions and the "5 CORNERS - module updates" chat are received only by active administrators: employees whose term in the "Administrators" group has expired or has not yet started will no longer receive them.

1.4.0 (21.10.2026)

Menu Patterns

- Custom pattern items no longer move to the very bottom of the menu. If an employee has moved their menu items at least once, the custom pattern items now remain where they placed them, rather than dropping to the bottom after the page refreshes.

- Custom pattern items can be dragged like regular menu items, including into "Hidden". Employees still cannot remove them from the menu.

- An item that an employee moves for the first time no longer returns to its previous position.

- With menu editing disabled, the module works as before: the order is strictly as in the constructor.

Other

- The version in the module header links to the solution page in the portal updates, and next to it is the Bitrix24 icon.

- The bell icon for a new version indicates how important the update is.

- Module settings are arranged in a single column. The address for checking new versions is built into the module and is no longer editable.

- Module service records are written to the standard portal "Event Log" instead of a file on the server.

- The chat "5 CORNERS - module updates" no longer reappears after reinstalling the modules, and the bot does not repeat the greeting in it.

1.3.0 (13.10.2026)

5 Corners Module Update Chat

- Portal administrators now have a group chat titled "5 Corners — Module Updates". Announcements of new versions are posted here, detailing what has changed and providing a button to update the module. This chat is shared across all 5 Corners modules.

Menu Patterns

- If the global "Apply Patterns" toggle is turned off, the page now explicitly warns about this in the header and in each pattern card. Previously, a pattern could appear "Active" while having no effect on anyone.

- The page indicates that portal administrators are excluded from patterns. Patterns must be tested using a regular employee account.

Other

- The "Update" button in the new version notification leads directly to the module page in your portal's Marketplace.

- On the "Menu Icons" and "Highlighting" pages, the "Cancel" button appears only while there are unsaved changes and disappears after saving.

- The module installation and uninstallation screens have been updated.

- Icons via link can only be fetched from allowed websites: the list is available in the module settings under the "Icons via Link" tab.

- Module protection has been strengthened.
