When you plan and design the navigation system for a database, work with the people who will use it. If that's not practical, keep their needs central to your design process. Depending on your resources, consider using focus groups for planning and conducting usability tests during your design.
In short, focus on the user. For example, suppose you have many reports in your database, and that you run the reports with varying frequencies. In each group, you could add the appropriate reports. When you're ready, create your custom categories, custom groups within those categories, and then add the database objects to each group. Use the Navigation Options dialog box to create and manage custom categories and groups.
The dialog box displays a list of all the categories that have been defined in the database, and shows the groups for a selected category. Think of the creation of custom categories and groups as the scaffolding for you custom navigation. Create custom categories Access provides one pre-built custom category for you called Custom.
You can rename that category and then add or remove groups to suit your needs. You can also create new custom categories. Note When you create a custom category, it applies to the current database only. You cannot transfer custom categories and groups to other databases. Create custom groups After you create a category, you create one or more custom groups for the new category. You can create as many groups as you need. When you create a new custom category, groups named Unassigned Objects and Custom Group 1 are created for that category.
Once you have created your categories and groups, you can add, hide, or show groups and objects to fit your needs. You can add or remove the objects in a group at any time.
Add objects to custom groups In the Navigation Pane, you can drag or copy and paste the objects from the Unassigned Objects to assign to a custom group. By doing so, you are adding a shortcut to a database object and not moving or copying the object itself.
Shortcuts can be identified by a small arrow next to the lower-left corner of the object icon. Each group should have only one shortcut to a given database object.
When you open a shortcut, you open the object it points to. Note The built-in categories and groups in the Navigation Pane do not display shortcuts, and instead display actual database objects. These groups include all groups in any built-in category and the Unassigned Objects group of any custom category.
Show or hide groups or objects After you populate your custom group or groups, you can hide the Unassigned Objects group and any other groups that you don't want to display. You can hide some or all of the groups in a custom category and some or all of the objects in a group.
Sorting is also easy! Just right mouse click on the banner of the group to sort and choose the required action. Take the time to browse and investigate this utility as many users seem to notice realise the potential when managing your Access objects.

I have the same question 3. Report abuse. Details required :. Located along the side of the screen, the Navigation Pane provides a quick way to access the objects in Microsoft Access. You can hide or show the Navigation Pane at any time. When you need to increase your workspace, close or hide the Navigation Pane. When you create a new Blank desktop database or use an existing Access desktop database, you can set options from the open database so that the Navigation Pane does not display when the specific desktop database is opened.
From the open desktop database, click the File tab, and then click Options. Note: We do not recommend hiding the Navigation Pane in desktop databases unless the database employs a screen such as a switchboard a form with buttons or links that enable you to navigate around the database or uses another method for opening the objects in the database.
