Updated WX navigation: general availability

The new navigation menu layout for WX is now generally available and is enabled by default as part of release Y23.4.

Important

For a short time, customers can disable the new navigation menu using the organization-level and policy-level Updated WX Navigation setting. This setting will be removed as part of the Y24.1 release, at which time the legacy navigation menu will be deprecated.

The main navigation for the WX portal has been moved to a new responsive side menu. This menu combines the features previously available in the service bar/tab menu and the navigation bar in the legacy navigation. For services that host multiple processes, these open in a secondary menu. A new, flexible people search bar is always visible at the top of the interface, and a new My Team menu is available for managers.

Updated WX navigation: limitations

The new look WX currently has the following limitations:

  • Navigating to the Compensation Planning and Performance Management processes causes a switch to the old-style navigation menu. Select the company logo in top left of the page, or select a different menu item to return to the new menu.

  • In the updated Work Details process introduced as part of Y23.4, it is not possible for team members to change their profile photo. An intuitive profile photo uploader will be added in the next release.

  • You can display up to 20 internal communications in the carousel component.
