Side Navigation Bar
The side navigation bar allows you to find and browse for files and other information stored in the FlexPLM. To be able to make use of the entire browser space, by default the side navigation bar collapses when the mouse is moved out of the side navigation bar. When you hover the mouse over the collapsed side navigation bar, the navigation bar will appear after a 250 milli-second delay. The delay prevents the accidental display of the side navigation bar. An administrator can modify the default delay time by configuring the sidenavigator.hoverDelay property. For more information on configuring the property see, System-Wide Property Settings in PTC FlexPLM .
The side navigation bar is always hidden by default, unless you choose to expand it by clicking the toggle icon or pin icon from side navigation bar in the navigator. The default behaviour, that is collapsed or expanded mode of the side navigation bar, can be configured by modifying settings in the navigator.Pin or sidenavigator.Click property. For more information on configuring property see, System-Wide Property Settings in PTC FlexPLM
The side navigation bar contains two tabs Site and Product. The Product tab is displayed when you select a product.
Click the pin icon to keep the pane expanded, click to collapse or to unpin the pane. You can also hover over the grey bar to expand the side navigation bar.

The default expand or collapse on hover is disabled when the mouse is over the section of the side navigation bar.
