Sidebar and Navigation
Five groups, ordered the way a day runs
The sidebar is grouped by what you are doing rather than by feature area: start with the agent, track your time, analyze the numbers, manage the work, administer the workspace. Items you cannot access are hidden, so what you see depends on your role and plan.
The groups
| Group | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Agent | Home (chat with Rize about your tracked time), Routines, Focus |
| Track | Calendar, My Timesheet, Meetings, Apps |
| Analyze | Tracked Time, Resourcing, Profitability, Productivity, Reports, Dashboards |
| Work | Tasks, Projects, Clients |
| Admin | Teams, Members, Invoices, Settings |
Your teams are listed below the groups. Two items were renamed in October 2026: Timer is now Focus, and Activity is now Apps (the page is titled Apps & Websites).
Favorite dashboards
Dashboards you star appear under Dashboards in the Analyze group, the first five directly and the rest behind +N more. The chevron beside Dashboards collapses the list, and Rize remembers that per workspace. See Tracked Time and Dashboards.
The sidebar footer
The book icon at the bottom of the sidebar opens Resources: the latest changelog posts, upcoming and recent workshops, release videos, docs, and support chat. The ? beside it opens support. In the desktop app, the workspace menu at the top of the sidebar also has Open in browser, which opens the page you are on in the Rize web app; the same icon sits in the top header of every page.
Items are gated by role and plan. A member without admin rights will not see workspace Timesheets or Members, and features that are not part of your plan do not appear at all. An empty group is hidden rather than shown greyed out.
Customize the sidebar
Open the workspace menu
Click your workspace name at the top of the sidebar, then choose Customize sidebar.
Reorder within a group
Drag items into the order you want. Ordering is per group — items do not move between groups.
Hide what you do not use
Uncheck an item to remove it from the sidebar. Unchecking never removes access: the page still exists and its URL still works.
Your layout is saved to your account per workspace, so it follows you between the web app and the desktop app, and each workspace you belong to can be arranged differently.
Shortcuts worth knowing
Cmd+J(Ctrl+Jon Windows) opens a new chat with the agent from anywhere.- Collapsing the sidebar switches items to icons only. Group labels are hidden visually but stay available to screen readers, and your order is preserved.
- Reports appear as their own rail in the sidebar, so you can open a finished run without navigating to the Reports page first.
