Bulletin Type: New Navigation Structure

YourSix is excited to unveil a new Y6OS navigation structure. YourSix is constantly investing in innovation and adding new feature functionality. This new structure enhances the user’s experience and prepares for forthcoming enhancements. As part of this update, we will adjust the menu layout. The most notable alteration involves moving the primary navigation menu from the platform’s left side to the top bar. We have additionally separated out areas of live interactions from those pages designed for configuration for easier navigation for each user role.

There is no action required on your part. These enhancements only affect the menu structure – all devices, configurations, and users will not be affected. As with all Y6OS feature enhancements, users will experience zero downtime.
