Hi @ShreyasG,

 

To achieve the behavior where the LIST NAV component opens in a collapsed state by default, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to User Administration > User Preferences.

  2. Search for the "ux.expandedListMenuItems" user preference.

  3. Set the following values:

    • Name: ux.expandedListMenuItems

    • Value: [] (an empty array)

    • System: True (ensure the checkbox is checked)

    • Type: String

    • User: Leave empty.

  4. Save the record.

Once saved, the workspace LIST menu items will open in a collapsed state by default.
