The Left Navigation Menu
The navigation of the leftmost menu can be changed to better suit your needs. This is done from the Organization > Navigation tab.
The navigation bar is divided into three sections: Top, Middle, and Bottom. It is derived from entities within the Metadata Model that have been added to the Navigation entity, within those relevant sections.
