Introducing Space Sidebar Layout in SureDash

Starting with SureDash v1.6.0, the Space Sidebar Layout feature gives you more control over how sidebar content is displayed across your portal.

This feature allows you to:

• Use a single sidebar layout across all spaces for consistency
• Customize the sidebar for individual spaces when different information or actions are needed

It helps you balance a unified portal experience with the flexibility to tailor specific spaces.

Global Sidebar Settings

Global sidebar settings are available under SureDash > Settings > Global Sidebar.

Using the global sidebar, the admin can:

• Enable or disable the global sidebar
• Add predefined sidebar widgets
• Configure widgets that appear across all spaces

When enabled, the global sidebar is shown in all spaces by default.

Space-Level Sidebar Settings

Each space in SureDash also has its own sidebar settings.

At the space level, the admin can:

• Disable the global sidebar for that specific space
• Add and configure custom widgets only for that space

This is useful when a space needs different sidebar content than the rest of the portal.

How Sidebar Behavior Works

Here is how SureDash decides which sidebar to show:

• If the global sidebar is enabled, it appears in all spaces
• If a specific space disables the global sidebar, only that space’s custom widgets are shown
• Space-level sidebar settings always override global sidebar settings

This ensures that space-specific needs are respected without affecting other spaces.

Conclusion

The Space Sidebar Layout feature gives you structured control over how sidebar content is presented in SureDash. By combining global and space-level settings, you can keep your portal consistent while still tailoring individual spaces to their purpose.

This makes it easier to manage content, improve navigation, and create a better experience for your users as your portal grows.
