## Lab Notebook menu
It is also possible to customise which entities should be shown under
*Experiments/Collections* in the main menu under the **Lab Notebook**
section.
By default, only the *Object* types **Entry** and **Experimental Step**
are shown (see picture below).
If you want to show additional custom *Object* types in the lab notebook
main menu, they need to be enabled by editing the **Settings**.
Go to the **Object Type definitions Extension** section in the
**Settings**. Open the relevant *Object* type, which you would like to
see in the Main menu of the Lab Notebook and select **Show in lab
notebook main menu**, as shown below.
By default, the Object Types **Entry** and **Experimental Step** have
this option already selected.
Please note that this is only valid for the **Lab Notebook** section. In
the **Inventory** section, entries are never shown in the main menu,
because inventories can potentially have thousands of entries, which are
better visualised in tables, rather than in the main menu.
