Currently the lefthand navigation automatically collapses and is only expanded when the user is hovering over it. It tends to disappear too unexpectedly now. The user should be able to click to expand it and it only collapses once they click to collapse. We can decide if it should be expanded or collapsed by default. I would suggest expanded by default.
Another optimization that I'd like to include in this ticket (since we have plenty of screen real estate) is rather than have the entire nav collapse and disappear just have the icons be displayed in the collapsed version. See attached screenshots for how it's done in Insightly which I found quite nice.
So to summarize, two propose changes in this task
1) Make lefthand navigation menu expand/collapse based on user clicking - not simply hovering. Expanded menu is default setting. 2) Collapse navigation menu should still have the icons (no text) displayed. See screenshots.
