Hi All,
It would be great if the angle brackets (<>) of breadcrumb in D365O would be clickable the same way as in Windows Explorer.
For example, the user navigates to this path: Sales and marketing>Setup>Opportunities>Probability
If the user clicks the bracket before Probability the menu elements under Opportunities would be shown (list of Probability, Prognosis, Reason, Sales process).
That would speed up the navigation in D365O as far as I am concerned.
Thanks,
Zoltan

No idea where does Microsoft come up with these useless bright ideas to remove something that was never broken and decided to fix it (obviously the people making these decisions don't actually use D365 FIN OPS in real life)
Post by Andrew says it all about the actual issue faced by real life users.. so I just copied and pasted it.

RE: Make D365O breadcrumb clickable as in Windows Explorer

Being one of the most complained about user-interface aspects of D365FO that i've had, I find it pretty unbelievable that instead of implementing a highly-requested, clickable breadcrumb bar (as what is usually expected with ERP systems, or hierarchically-based menu software systems in general), you have now eliminated it outright and slapped in a search bar there instead. Your "if we just make all of the menus collapsed by default, that'll do it!" approach has unfortunately not done the trick.
Oddly enough, people actually do like knowing where they are in the software they're using.
Now users really have no idea where they are or how they arrived there. Sending someone a screenshot of the page you're on is now inevitably useless.
"I'm having an issue."
"Where are you? How did you get there?"
"Who knows! I have no clue where I am."
What a shame. I really hope Microsoft improves their responses to community feedback. We, inevitably, are the ones using (your) software on a day-to-day basis. You'd think our input would have some weight.

Losing this visibility and navigation is very detrimental to the user experience.
It's not all about workspaces and tiles.
Data entry staff need these cues. Supporting users is a nightmare.
As was said earlier, even this ideas site has a useable breadcrump menu.
1. Bring back the breadcrump menu for V10 onwards
2. Make it a clickable navigation tool like previous versions.

breadcrub trail was also useful in playing detective with context-less screenshots. rip.

Rejecting very popular requests seems a very poor approach to the user community

What community have to do to return breadcrumbs back?
I would love to have breadcrumbs clickable too.

Menus are a mess and too much is shown. We must be able to collapse and group menu at the same time by a right click.

This is just common sense to implement. All other webpages use breadcrumbs for navigation, it's a bizarre omission here. Yes, there are greater questions/problems with the UI navigation, but ignoring this doesn't fix that.

Yes this was one of the first obvious navigation functions that was missing from D365. It is a PITA having to close out each form everytime you need to move up the menu list

Also agree. Its painful looking through the whole menu to find the module then find an option which is within the same section of thr module as the current page. It would be useful to view the sub section only when the breadcrumb is clicked. Exactly how ax2012 works.

In Platform update 24, the navigation bar was restyled to align with the Office header. Notably, this design does not maintain a breadcrumb in the header at all. Other updates to the Navigation pane made recently (e.g. remembering the expand/collapse state of nodes in the Navigation pane and the ability to expand/collapse all nodes) were targeted at improving main menu navigation. We are interested in hearing more about any main menu navigation scenarios that continue to be difficult to explore potential solutions.
