A shorter menu fitted to each person's role, plus a Desktop of side-by-side windows

The menu now has eight folding sections and shows each person only the screens their role allows. Your most-used screens rise to the top, \"Recently opened\" keeps your last pages, and the Desktop opens several screens side by side in windows.

What changed

A menu by role

Each person's menu offers only the screens their role in the current business allows. A sales agent no longer sees the books, and an accountant no longer sees campaigns. A guest gets only their own tasks and projects. Every screen still checks its own permissions.

A tidier menu

  • Eight folding sections: Home, Money and accounting, Customers and sales, Work, Marketing and website, Operations, AI and connections, and Settings.
  • Each section has a few main entries; the other screens became tabs at the top of their page.
  • "Recently opened" at the top shows your last four screens. The first entries of each section show, the rest sit under "More" and "More sections".
  • Entries reorder by how often you use them, and "Reset menu order" puts them back.
  • The money section opens with "Accounting", and Books and Accounting get a dark side menu of their own.

The new menu with "Recently opened" and folding sections

Desktop

The new "Desktop" page shows each menu section as a folder and your most-used screens as icons. Each screen opens in a window you can move, resize, minimize or snap to an edge. "Arrange windows" lays them out "Side by side", as a "Grid" or in a "Cascade".

Ask in a sentence

In the ⌘K search you can type a sentence instead of a page name, such as "Where are this week's appointments?". After a short pause an "AI suggestion" row offers the right screen, and Enter opens it.

How to use it

  1. Open the menu at the side; tap a section name to open or fold it.
  2. Press "More" to see every entry in a section.
  3. Open the Desktop from "Home" → "Businesses dashboard", or find it with ⌘K.
  4. The owner sets each person's role in Team management, and the menu follows.

Good to know

  • There is no separate menu editor; the menu follows the role. The owner can also create custom roles in "Team management".
  • Each person's Desktop layout is saved in their browser.
  • The AI suggestion only suggests a screen; it never acts on anything.

The phone app sends a call's recording and reads a business card

In the NabuOS phone app, Log this call? now takes the call's recording too, and its summary fills in the call you just logged. On the Customers tab, a photo of a business card from the camera or the gallery is read and saved as a lead. Both need the new app build.

Owner reports and approvals now reach Bale too

The AI employees' report, the reply coach's weekly report, business alerts, the cash radar warning and document approval requests now come from the business's own Bale bot as well as Telegram — and a document can be approved right there with /approve_doc_N.
