How to group apps by department inside a custom app navigation?

In Jestor's custom navigation tool, you can create sections — like finance, HR, or specific teams — and group the apps related to that department inside each one, building a kind of personalized home right inside the app itself.

Why does grouping by department help larger teams find their way around?

As a company grows and accumulates more apps, a generic navigation with everything mixed together makes it harder to find the right app quickly. Grouping by department — finance on one side, HR on another — points each person straight to what's relevant to their team, without having to search through dozens of options.

How to build this grouped navigation in Jestor?

Add the custom navigation component inside the app.
Create a section with the department's name, like "Finance."
Group the apps related to that area inside that section.
Repeat the process for other sections — HR, team A, team B, company A, company B — based on the company's structure.

Can two color conditionals be applied at the same time to a single indicator?

How to make app icons in the side menu show up with no background color for a minimalist look?

In Jestor's side menu, you can turn off the colored background behind app icons, leaving only the icon visible — a more minimalist look for anyone who prefers a cleaner menu. Why does removing the icon background change the menu experience? By default, every app icon in the side

Can a blurred background be used in a form to keep a background image readable?

Yes. Among Jestor's form style options is a blur option for the background: when there's an image behind the form, the blur softens that image to improve the readability of the content, while keeping the image visible behind it. Why does a background image without blur
